I just discovered that I can multi-quote. Stinking newbies...
Thank you - I have some more reading to do.
...I've gotten a 225-grain Sierra Game King just under 2,700 fps...
...and I missed your load data that says .358 225gr at 2700 @ .384 G1 should get me out beyond 575.
And you're getting 1.5 moa with a 1:16?
Yes, I am. 61.4 grains of TAC. Per the Federal Ballistics calculator, it should be going just over 1,800 fps at 400, with 1650 fpe.
A 200gr TTSX at 2900fps is the flatest shooting load I've developed for the Whelen, but I haven't used it in the fields yet
I'm getting the impression that:
- the factory Whelen loadings are leaving quite a bit on the table.
- internet commandos (& gunwriters?) aren't giving the Whelen its due.
