My 35 Whelen is the Rem 700 Classic, 1-16 twist,,,before I started reloading I bought factory ammo,, I wanted a load that would give me the best accuracy...so, I tried rem 200gr and the rem 250gr and the nosler 225gr and the woodleigh 310gr.... I found that in my rifle,, the 310gr was the worst,,,,5 inch group at 100yds...best was the 200gr...that was a 2 inch group...since I started hand loading....I have so far got a 1.25 inch 3 shot group/100yds,,,with the 170gr sierra pistol bullet...I am going to order some of the Speer 180gr rifle pills..I think it is all about the slow twist.
