I have a .35 Brown-Whelen built by Curt in Forest Grove Oregon in the 1980's 22" Douglas premium barrel on a Ruger #3 action with new #1 wood. My elk load is a Speer 250 gr spitzer chrono'd @ 2625 fps over 63 gr of IMR 4064. Earlier had a standard .35 Whelen on a 700 ADL with a 24" barrel that got about 100 fps less out of 54.5 gr of IMR 3031.
When it's time to fight, you fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp to Noah's ark... and brother, it's startin' to rain.
