I was at the range fireforming 375 whelen improved brass. A friend had given me a bunch of once fired 35 whelen brass so I figured I should do something with them.

235gr Speer semi spitzer, loaded .002” into the lands, with 53.5gr of IMR4064. I love the way they look.

Hopefully soon I will start working up a load with 270gr Speer spbt.

The 35WhelenAI is a extremely efficient chambering. To me it would be almost perfect for elk,moose,and black bear given the right choice of bullet.
My choice of action would be single shot (Ruger #1) because of the strength and you could have a longer bbl for the same OAL of the gun. To me a 24-26" would be perfect.
I absolutely love most AI's. Great gun you got there sir. ---- SAWMAN
I always wanted a 35 whelen improved. Ive got a standard 35 whelen in a Remington 7600 pump action. That 7600 has been a great rifle.Quote:

58.0gr of RL15, .020” off the lands. Hopefully they will be running about 2500fps.

I remember watching a guy do that at the range one day.... he was using cream o wheat and wax.... smelled amazing. he sat there for a couple hours.
I wished I knew more then to ask more questions.
Ive never used the cream of wheat method. Ive always just shot a bullet jammed into the lands.

I first got interested in using it when my buddy shot cowboy action type stuff... loaded up super low recoil rounds and used that as a packing.
