35 Whelen

I had trouble with those bullets sticking in my seating die, neck tension wasn't enough to overcome the bullets sticking in die. Got frustrated and gave up. How's your accuracy ?

I just loaded a few and got a velocity reading. I'm sure they'll be plenty accurate, I've shot the 220 Hammer and it shot half minute angle in my rifle
I bet those kill like lightning strikes
I'd bet the farm on it.
 
35 Whelen, Norma cases, Federal 215 primer, 67 grains of Power Pro Varmint, Hammer HHT 215 grain tipped, shot from 1885 Highwall, 28" barrel

3037.5 FPS
Yep! With the same bullet, RP Brass, 60gr of 8208 XBR I get 2950 fps with a 25in 1/12 barrel. But my favorite 35 Whelen load, 245gr Hammer Stone Hammer, 66.2 gr of Alliant 2000 MR at 2808 fps. If you have not tried Hammer bullets yet you need to.

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
