Check out surplus WC844 for further savings. Loads the same as H335.

The NOE 270-145 has a fatter nose section. The Mid South custom Lee 6.5 Swede yaws a little but, may be the best yet.

I shot Win760 in my 308 with the Lee 312-155 bullets, oven heat treated. I hate to admit this but, I filled the case to the base of the neck knowing that I couldn't over pressure it with Win760. I...
Place empty pistol cases over the bore riding portion and ESPC.
When testing the NOE 360-310 FN (310gr 35 Thumper), I started loads with 48.0gr using IMR4064, IMR4350 and IMR4831. I worked these up to when I started to see any pressure signs like flattened...

Congratulations! Nice job! First known kill with the new bullet! How was the reaction?

I had elevated levels once up to 18. I attributed it to digging and sifting dirt from the range. Lead oxidizes causing that whitish dust on the surface. The range lead has this powder on much of it....

I have a 1-12 twist 35 Whelen. Best cast bullets are the NOE 360-230 and NOE 360-310, 35 Thumper. The NOE 360-310 can be run at 2270 FPS using IMR4350 and be super accurate if oven heat treated and...

I used a hunk of pure lead pounded it into a big, fat, flat washer and drilled a hole in it for the #10 pro pot. Placed it on the arm to add weight to it. It never occurred to me to do that to the...

Best accuracy for my 35 Whelen (1-12 twist) has been the NOE 360-230 RD and the NOE 360-310 FN (35 Thumper). Run them fast or slow, no matter.
FYI folks, you won't be able to work the action in a Marlin 336 to feed well with pistol bullets.
Used to use 11.0gr Unique under a 358311 bullet for the kids. As young teens, my sons (not me)...

The NOE 140gr. is a basic bore rider that I found the nose too big in diameter for fit and function in my rifles. The 163gr. fits better.
The Lyman 266673 casts too small, I need a .268" bullet...

Be sure to do a search for "35 Whelen loads" using the "custom search" feature in the white box in the upper right side of the page. Many of the best loads will not be found in any book for it. Best...

I figure that I have enough of those yellow cans for my great, great, great, grand kids to use BLL for awhile.
That 35 Whelen is ready but, no moose permit again this year.

I have two favorites I use in my 1-12 twist, 35 Whelen. The NOE 230gr 360-230 FP and the NOE 310gr 360-310 FN (35 Thumper). Both are very accurate and can be shot at high velocities.
Forum: Boolit Lube !
I'm a believer in BLL, too! All I use any more. ( I might sneak in some Bens Red in the future, too).

Tumble lube designs are a farce. They are no better than traditional lube groove bullet designs for using tumble lube.

I seem to remember Larry doing an experiment a few years back between powder coated and PC with lube added.
Can't remember his results.

Any cast lead 357/38spl pistol bullet can be made to shoot with low noise and low velocity in the 35 Whelen.
