Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Hornady Super Performance 35 Whelen

That's the beauty of the 358Win (& 35Whelen). Load it with 200s and it's a perfect medium range deer rifle and with 250s and you're GTG for moose. At this velocity, you really don't need premiums.

A friend of mine invited my down to the Texas Hill Country for some deer hunting a few years ago. I took my .358 Win with 200 gr Silvertips as my "Sendero� rifle. I was probably the only person running a .358 Win. within hundred miles of Brady, TX, but I easily killed some Whitetails with it. But to the topic question, I also believe that 200 gr. .35 caliber bullets are best suited for the .358 Win. I do however (premium bullet bias aside) have a dandy load for my .358 Win. that uses .225 Sierras that I know that I will use to kill an elk someday. CP.

While running some handloads over my chronograph a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends brought his new .35 Whelen over with the 200 gr. SuperPerformance Ammo. These chrono'd between 2850 and 2900 fps. I believe they advertise 2850 on the box. Guess it does what they say it does.

Can't say for sure, as I haven't tried TAC w/ 200 grainers, but based on it's perfomance w/ 250's (2600 fps+) that it would do as well.

GIves nearly 2900 fps from a 22" barreled 350 Rem mag and 225 gr TSX's.

May have to give that superperformance powder a try though, especially if it shines in a 358 WIn where TAC is a marginal performer.
