Hi all:

As stated a couple weeks ago, I will be hunting moose this Fall in my home state of NH. I have decided to use my Remington 700 Classic in 35 Whelen. I have reloaded for several years now, and have decided to roll my own cannon fodder for the moose hunt too. I have narrowed my bullet choice down to three offerings. The Sierra 225 grain SBT, The Nosler 225 grain Partition, or the Barnes 225 grain TSX. I am leading hard toward the Sierra, due to the fact that I have read where this pill was designed to perform well at Whelen velocities. Any input and advice would be helpful from those of you who have experience and know-how in this area. BTW, I took a moose in 1991 with my Whelen and 250 grain Rem. Corelokt factory ammo. It was a great broadside shot at 40 yards on a 700 pound dressed weight cow. She did not fold when hit, and I was NOT impressed with the bullets performance. Thanks to all, Rich.
