Greetings,
My goal is to have a 35 Whelen reduced load for my Ruger #1. Maybe take the RCBS 35-200 boolit and load it to 35 Remington velocities (2,000-2,200 fps). Most of the deer I take is within 50 yards. There is no use for me to load the Whelen to it's potential for around here hunting. The reduced loads would be more fun to shoot out of this light rifle too.
I do not have a mold yet but I see you can purchase these boolits gas checked both in solid and HP from Western Bullet Co.
My question is do I use the solid or hollowpoint?
What would you use and why? At what velocity would the HP boolit work best?
Thanks,
Corbi
