Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 35 whelen load, still coming up short

I had a Remington 721 in .35 Whelen with a 26" barrel. It did around 2,500 fps with the Speer 250 spitzer and 54 grs. IMR4064, probably a max. load in that rifle, but was very accurate. The same load in a Ruger 77 .35 Whelen with a 22" barrel gave 2,390.
