I shoot Speer 180's and Hornady 200 Inter-lok RN in my .35 Whelen, both are accurate and effective on whitetails. 180's have been pas thrus and have only recovered one 200 gr. so far, perfectly mushroomed and retained 66% of original weight. Proof for me at least of cup and core bullets accuracy and killing power, no incentive for me to drink the premium priced bullet Kool-aid. Yes ! That’s the performance those bullets gave me in the 80-90s. Glad they’re still good. Jerry

How about a 180 TTSX?
Mash on the throttle!! I use the factory Barnes vor-tx in my 35 wheeler encore. I really like them. Can be hard to find sometimes. So i stick piled a box or 10.

They can be a little hard to find, but Hornady makes or made a 180 grain .358 Single Shot Pistol bullet. It has a slightly thinner jacket for good expansion at .35 Remington velocities in the T/C Contender. Would be hell on whitetails at even modest Whelen velocities. I scrounged up a full box not long ago. Have not had a chance to try them out yet in the Mauser 98 that I had re-barreled to .35 Whelen. Gotta get to that.

Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

or a 158gr XTP's are good too, just be careful, it's easy to get 'really really' hi vel with them.... then they are varmint rounds...

Mash on the throttle!! Hey 10gamag. I use the 180 TTSX in my 358. Two bear with it. Both DRT. Can't see how using it in a Whelen would be any different. WN

After what I saw the 220gr Speers go through at 2175 fps from my lever action 35 Remington, I'd have no qualms whatsoever shooting ANY deer out to a long 250 yards with the 180gr Speers, especially with a scope sighted Whelen or 358W.

Not to mention the tiresome copper fouling cleanup required every 20 to 30 rounds with the .monolithic bullets. California can keep them All as far as I am concerned.😡

I have used the 180 grain Speer in a 35 Rem with excellent results, pass through and deer drop at shot.

You can still find some of the old Remington 150gr PCL if you scrounge around.
