Need some data: 35 Whelen with 225 Nosler's

[crimedog]

Anybody got a loadbook for the 35 Whelen, I need data for the nosler 225's with BL-C, RL-15, and whatever is the max velocity load.

Re-15. starting load 52.5 Gr. Max Load.56.5. Max velocity2525fps. Full load== 93 % case capacity. This Load is from the 5th Edition Nosler Manual.

They do not show a load for BLC-2

The Lee manual shows the same load for h-Varget. 51.0 Starting Load and 56.0 Max load. Hope this helps you out.

James Bis in the ballpark......Do not overlook IMR4064.....start with 52gr and work up til pressure signs. If you have a modern action, be cautious and optimistic as near 2700'/sec is doable.

takes me 59.5 grains of reloader 15 to get to 2675 (measured 15 feet from muzzle) with the AI version of the 35 Whelen.... that is a few grains overloaded for the parent cartridge...

been playing with 4064 also... accuracy is there.. the velocity is not vs Reloader 15....

crimedog,

This is the most accurate, highest velocity load I came up with in my .35 Whelen.
