I've been shooting the .35 Whelen for many years now, and all with cast boolits. So far Lyman's 358009@281g has accounted for 2 bull moose and one bull elk. Penetration is phenominal. Velocity is 2150fps(chrono'd) and accuracy is inch to inch and one half at 100 yds. This Whelen is a custom Rem 700 with a 1:12 twist Douglass bbl.

I recently acquired another .35 Whelen, which I believe to be a Rem 700 Classic model. I haven't measured it, but I understand the factory .35 Whelen's have a 1:16 twist. I shot it yesterday with 17g of Unique and an RCBS .35-200 FP and got five shots in 1.1 inches at 100yds. Velocity was around 1650 fps. I intend to use this Whelen for CBA match shooting. Looks like it shows some promise.
