I do reload for the whelen. I used imr 8208 with hornady and speer 250s. Itu Im worked up to 53.7 grains. My velocity was just past 2600. I settled on 53.2 at 2550 with better accuracy. On a side note I used a barnes 120ttsx on a big blue wildebeest with amazing results. I bought some 200 grains...
The dies are not carbide. The brass is 50 Winchester and 30 speer. The speer brass is primed with cci mag primers. All of the brass is new. I opened the Winchester and ran it through the tumbler.
The whelen flattened both of these with one shot. The eland ran 40 yards. Gemsbok went straight down. I used hornady 250 grain. My reloads hit about 2550 fps. My .375 doesn't kill any better on plains game. Buy it!
I have read many articles from this sight, but just recently joined. I had the privilege of hunting south Africa a couple of years ago. Of course hardly a day goes by that I don't dream of returning. I am an avid reloader and I am particularly fond of my 35 whelen.
Thank you for the reply. All of the brass is new. The speer brass has been through the sizing die and primed with CCI mag primers. The Winchester brass has been polished and put back into the bag. I don't think Winchester still makes the brass as I cannot find it online. 30 bullets. Im thinking...
All brass is brand new. 50 Winchester and 30 primed speer. 30 speer 350 grain bullets. Lee 3 die set. I would prefer to sell as a group, but would consider offers. $150 or best offer plus shipping.
