My Whelen is a Weatherby Vangaurd with a 25" Shilen barrel and camo synthetic stock. I also get 2700fps with 225 grain loads. The Federal premium ammo with Trophy Bonded bullets shoots best though. I get average of 2698 with that load and it kills elk very well.

Whatever you get, don't bother with the Remington factory ammo. Its loaded to a pretty low pressure level.

You see in this world, there's two kinds of people my friend; those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
