Default RE: 35 Whelen

i also have a 7600 whelen and a 750. both carbines. (i had the 7600 chopped) shoots like a gem. i dont really shoot handloads through it because its set up w/ a williams peepsight and factory ammo is more accurate then i can shoot w/ a peep sight. i do have some loads for barnes, sierra and hornady if you'd like them. ive killed deer w/ rem 200's and 250's and fed 225 TBBC and i get the smae results on deer. they all are dead in their tracks. same w/ the 350 mag which is ballistically identical really to the whelen. everyone else has pretty m8uch covered the range of the whelen so i wont bother repeating it. all my shots are well w/ in 100 yards here in northern maine and ill tell ya it works awesome for tracking big bucks! ive shot deer runnning away w/ the 250gr rem psp and had full penitration from the hind quarter steaks all the way up the body and stopped just inside the hide in the brisket. pretty impressive for a so so bullet ide say! and that was a 232lb white tail!
