Heavy Bullets in the 35 Whelen

@MS 9x56
People want them nice fancy high BC bullets to shoot game in the next county nowadays.
Me I'll stick to shooting animals at 299 yds or less. Those big round noses hit noticeably harder than the pointy plastic tipped things and I would have no problems if pushed to take the odd 300yard shot with one.

Or at least the 250gr Speer hot core, as the round noses are unumtanium anymore around here.

That's why I stocked up when I found them
We are fortunate as Woodleigh 35 cal projectiles are now available again.
I'm really looking forward to trying the 225gn round nose in the Whelen after seeing what the Hornady round nose did in Namibia.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
