I just worked a load for the Hornady 200 grain FTX with Power Pro Varmint Much better extreme spread than with the 225 Accubond. I believe CFE223 with close the extreme spread with 22t and 250s

Front forearm of rifle rested and kneeling on one knee

I have 50 Speer, 50 Partitions and 100 Hornady SP Interlock. CFE223 is slower in burn rate than the Power Pro Varmint. It may work better with the 225 Accubond

Got some CFE223 on the way. I'm going to try CFE223 with some 250 grain bullets

I would love to get my hands on some CFE223

Exactly, not unheard of velocity. The 1885 Highwall just comes with a 28" barrel

Case head expansion was the same as factory loads. I pulled a bullet and replaced the powder to get an accurate reading on case head expansion

68 grains behind the 180 TTSX velocity was 3231 FPS My rifle is an 1885 Highwall with a 28" barrel

65.5 grains of Power Pro Varmint behind the 225 grain Accubond gave this velocity of 2969FPS

The formula PSI = -17,902 + 1.516 x CUP is useful if you have data published in CUP, and want to compare with data published in PSI, Or, if you're like me, and have instrumented one or more rifles with strain gauges, you might want to use published CUP data to set an approximate limit for your...

Great informative thread

Micheal, have you seen RIP/Riflecrank on 24 hour work with the 458 win? The SAAMI 458 win has a longer throat than the SAAMI 458 lot and by seating the bullet farther out in the case he is getting higher velocities with the win chamber. Of course the 458 win throat for a 458 Lott rechambered...

When using quality mono metal expanding and mono metal solids the old rules concerning weight no longer apply

If 2000 or even 2600 FPS is need for "hydro static" of more properly termed "hydraulic pressure" to work, then why is a 357 magnum more effective than a 38 special when they both use the same bullets, the only difference is the 357 mag is a bit faster

Without a dought a 12 twist will stabilise any currently made 35 caliber bullet on the market.

$300, $50.00 extra for 5 groove. I doubt there is any accuracy difference, most people go with the 3 groove

It was supposed to say "5" groove

I have the 5 groove

I went with his groove rifling

No downside to more twist and some believe that more twist aids expansion. Another reason is the 35 caliber has been over looked as for high BC bullets. I think that before long the high BC bullets will be available in 35 caliber and if that happens 35's will eclipse 338s.

I never specified a throat length. I've shot 3 factory loads so far 180 TTSX Vortex, Hornaday 200 grain Superformance and the Nosler 225 Accubond. All group 1/2 MOA or less at 100 yards I also went with a 10 twist

I went with a JESS Rebore and am very happy with the results

Add another

The only powder that I have suitable for the 35 Whelen is Powet Pro Varmint

My 35 Whelen is aa 1885 Highwall that I had the barrel rebored from 30-06 to 35 Whelen with a 10 twist. I'm just getting bullets, dies and suitable powder to start reloading. I went with a 10 twist groups with factory loads 180 TTS Vortex, 200 grain Superformance and Nosler 225 Accubond are...

I just joined today, I live in Louisiana. I joined mostly because of all of the 35 Whelen discussion as I am now very interested In the 35 Whelen. I have an 1885 Highwall that J.E.S.S. rebored to 35 Whelen Also own 338s 375 and both a 416 rem and Rigby

2900 FPS is a typo 2700 FPS is what I meant to type

Speer has published data for the 35 Whelen using Power Pro 2000MR that get 2900 FPS With 250 a grain bullet
