Anyone have a powder preference for loading 180 grn in the Whelen
 
Barnes should have several different loads in their loading guide on their website.

I’ve had good luck with RL 15. Surprised it’s not on that list
 
I have been shooting the factory Remington bullets in 200 gr both flat point and pointed soft point. From 358 Winchesters and 350 Rem Mags. All were so effective this box of 180 gr TTSXs sit unloaded so far. Some day I'll get busy and do something. I have 4064 and Varget for them. Might have to go with something faster that is on my shelf. Maybe that pound of VV 540 should be used. Anybody have a tested load for it? Sorry if it is OT, but barely. Be Well, Rustyzipper.
 
The Sierra manual shows CFE223 producing fantastic velocities with bullets up to 250 grains. I’m sure you could figure out a reasonable starting load from the Sierra data.

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),

Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?

What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?

Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.

Happy hunting - Daniel
Our trophy shed is filling up and we are only getting started,

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)
