I'm new somewhat to reloading and the 35 whelen. I've been reloading for a couple of years and loading for the whelen all that time. My rifles are a Remington CDL and a just aquired Classic. In my rifles I've loaded 225's and 250's with great results. I don't know about the heavier weight bullets yet. In my opinion its all hoopla about the twist with 250's, I think it depends more on the rifle itself.

If it was me I'ld be looking for a CDL or a classic unless you are going to shoot 270's or 300 grain bullets. Thats my experience so far.

JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H
