I'll have to ask some of the powder and bullet manufacturers I know why the drastic reduction in .35 Whelen data. The non-wimpy data we saw a decade ago came out LONG after Remington standardized the cartridge.


That would be great information sir, if you find out, I'd love to hear the reasoning. I saw a report just recently, of Nosler Custom Ammo, loaded with 250 PT's and advertised at 2550FPS, only chrono'ed 2300 out of a Nosler TGR? Seems like 2300 is really tame. Heck, With a ton of powders, 2500 is pretty mild in most Whelens can get their without any real drama.
