I'll start

I loaded some 208 grain RCBS cast with GC bullets with 15 grains of Trail Boss (nearly a case full) cases were military surplus TW 54, primer was 9 1/2 Remington. The velocity was1,412 fps +/- 10 fps.
It was way to windy to try for groups today - more later

I shoot the same bullet over 15 grains of Unique in my Whelen, it's an accurate load.

I like 13.0 grs of bluedot pushing a cast 158 swc for my fun plinking load. Let a buddy of mine shoot it with this load who'd never heard of a 35 Whelen and he walked away amazed at how little recoil the rifle had. He walked away impressed and I had a good laugh
