35 Whelen
 

Was looking at the Rem 750 Woodsmaster in 35 Whelen... Has anybody had any expierence with this Rifle/caliber???

RE: 35 Whelen
 

No, but would love to try one.

I've had experience with that same, rifle/caliber combo before, I haven't been to impressed with the .35 Whelen, its slow, and big, and not all that powerful. The gun you speak of, however, would make a good gun to carry in the woods.

I'd have to say that combination would be a keeper. I was looking at the Whelen, but went with the 350 Rem instead. I reload and lets just say there weren't a whole lot of factory choices for them, one for the .350 and 2 for the Whelen. Now that Nosler is making 35 Whelan with a 250 gr partition I'd take the Whelen. I wouldn't bother with the 200 or 225 gr in the Whelen, too much unused case capacity.

Good luck,
CE

Is it hard to find factory ammo for the 35 Whelen???

RE: 35 Whelen
 

Factory 35 Whelen ammo isn't all that common.

RE: 35 Whelen
 

You can order Rem and Nosler ammunition from Midway...

I hope you are joking about the performance of the 35 Whelen !

I shot a doe several years ago with the wheelen. I didn't measure the shot but it was around 100yds and I literally heard the gun go off and the bullet smack the deer. It is a very slow round. It was my uncles gun. I don't know what ammo he was using.
