RE: 35 Whelen

This thread cracks me up. The 35 Whelen and Ackley Improved version are the hardest hitting non-magnumMoose cartridges on Earth. A 250 gr Grand Slam Speer at 2600'/sec zeroed at 150 yards is one inch high at 100 yards with 3179'/lbs energy and -2.7 low at 200 yards with 2570' lbs energy. Add 100'/sec for the Ackley and the numbers are more impressive

A 150 gr 30'06 Nosler going 2900'/sec at the muzzle at100 and 200 yards have around 500'/lbs less energy at each range.

Now someone here please school me on how anemic the 35 Whelen cartridge is or please post some numbers to challenge this data....shoot, use 300 Win Mag data for all I care! This is crazy! I want emperical evidence not "I think" stuff.

Regards, Rick.
