2020年5月13日 · The 35 Whelen built it's reputation with 250gr. bullets, and most feel that it is the best all around bullet weight for the 35 Whelen. Col. Whelen and Elmer Keith both liked 275gr. bullets in their 35's, but they did not have the bullets we do today. 225 an 250gr. bullets will be my main bullets, but want to try the 275's and see how they do.

2020年4月8日 · I have coveted the 35 Whelen, and gave up when my Brother acquired a Marlin 336 35 Rem. It was his (New England Black Bear) bear gun. Great rifle, relatively respectable caliber; but it still never filled my void where a great 35 caliber was concerned.

2022年7月2日 · I finally got my Lipsey's Ruger in 35 Whelen out to the range today. My rifle purchases are always leading my scope purchases, so it took a bit to get a scope mounted. I got some Alaskan Arms quick disconnecting rings and a Leupold VX-5HD 2-10 to complete the rig. After three shots with...

2018年6月25日 · IMO the 35 Whelen and 250 grain NP is ideal for African PG and Mr Spots. As far as long range shooting goes, on my last safari our PH's wanted to have a shooting contest out to 300 yards, they used a 270 and a 243 I used my Whelen.

2019年5月25日 · The recoil of a 35 Whelen is noticeably more than a 270 IME. I’d suggest you let her try a loner if you can find one. I don’t believe the recoil of a 9.3x62 is much more noticeable than the Whelen. Either with a premium quality bullet should do well. Best of luck in your decision! And good luck to your lady in her pursuit of a magnificent ...

2000年12月29日 · While I haven't shot any moose with the 35 Whelen yet,but I have shot a cow elk with my T/C Encore 15" 35 Whelen handgun,using a handloaded Hornady 250gr. round nose at 2100fps. The shot was behind the front shoulder. She went down in a hurry. I personally think it would go through both shoulders with no problem.

2015年12月17日 · Rick, over time you will come to appreciate your 35 Whelen more and more. The 250 Gn. Hot Cores have been considered good bear "medicine" for many years. My sons and I took three 35 Whelen(s) to Africa and used them with great success. One son used 250 Gn. Nosler Partitions, the other used 225 Gn. Nosler Accubonds and I used 225 Gn. Barnes TSX.

2014年1月20日 · My 35 Whelen on Pre-64 Win action is finished and got to come home today. I am pretty excited and couldn’t be happier. Cant wait to get to the range! It all started when I bought a pre-64 Winchester barreled action in .270 off gunbroker. It was pretty well used with no stock. I took it to Steve...

2020年10月30日 · 35 Whelen is overrated, rainbow trajectory, lacks shoulder for proper headspacing, and a far cry from many claims to the contrary. Why I wouldnt have one up my arse!! Gimme a .338 any ol day of the week!

2021年7月7日 · The 66 gr. load as mentioned above pushing a 225 Gr Accubond was ONLY 20,000 PSI above the PMax listed for the Whelen. Reactions: jwp475 and Bob Nelson 35Whelen J
