I have been a long time fan of the .35 Whelen, my Whelen is a pre-64 Winchester M/70 rebored/rechambered by Randall Redman. It has a Griffin & Howe Double Lever Mount with a Leupold 2-7X. In developing an accurate load for it I shot every 200-225 gr. bullet available, the .225gr. Sierra BT gave the best accuracy. IMR 4064 was the powder I selected based upon extensive reading and research. I took a very nice Kentucky 8pt. during the '08 season, I was very pleased with my load's performance.
