Long Story
I have always Wanted a 35 Whelen since reading about it many years ago.
Many Years Later it is now going happen, It's almost a dream rifle for me …
One of those you look for, for years but can never find.
Barrel is on order. 1/16 twist. Dies I purchased the other day. Gas checks soon.
Ordered a Mould … Have heard good things about the 35 xcb.
Now called the 360-230-FN-AU1 wt 229g BC.2985.
Will also work in the 358 win .. wink wink
Because I want to shoot it lots and Jacketed bullets are $$.
In addition, I think that bullet is good enough to hunt with too.
The Problem is now it is 35 Whelen .. 30-06 necked up to 35 cal.
I have not found much data for cast bullets. At least in my weight range.
I think I have found 90% of the data for jacketed. If it can be found on the Internet, I probably found it and book marked it.
The 35 Whelen can also be a big shoulder thumper.
Shoulder pounding will be reduce also as rifle will be in the 9 plus lb. category
Thinking H 4895 ….. Been told the H is more temperature stable
Reduced H 4895 … with dacron …
Accurate 5744 Have data @ accurate for cast 204/250/280g
On top of that it is for a semi … By the Name of M1 Garand
So need it to work in a Semi that can be very Picky for powder selection,
Another reason for using H4895, its one of the go to powders for the M1 Garand
Thinking unique or 2400 or bullseye for cast pistol bullets …. Straight pull only
30-06 cases are going to be used, just neck sized up
50 Plus Federal cases have been annealed / sized (weight within 1g)
47 or so Rem cases have been annealed / sized (weight within 1g)
Now Looking for Cast reloading data for 35 Whelen in a M1 Garand
Thanks for your Help
