I should have added 250 grain hot cores shot very well in my 350.
It seems as soon as I have started with a new Whelen someone wants it. The current one I have has had the barrel cut back to 20.75” and threaded. I have not had time to work with it, though I have lots of jacketed and cast ready. I am planning on trying lots of bullets and loads with this Whelen - the rifle is suppressed.
One of the powders that worked very well in a 350 with 250 grain bullets was IMR 4320. Other powders included H4895, IMR4895 & TAC.
WW748 also shot well but I found the powder to be temperature sensitive with changing POI.
I have never shot the hot cores at animal in the 35’s.
They didn’t open well in 6mm. I tried hot cores in 30-06, & 280 - had no issues with tgem.
