In trying to find loading data for the .35 Whelen, I have come up against a wall. Does anyone know what manuals has a decent listing
for this calber? Only one older manual (Speer) has a listing For this caliber. Hate to buy a manual only to find no listing. There have been newer powders out now that aren't in this book. (7th. Edition, 1966).

...plus, you can start a topic here, or over at www.shooters.com on their talk site, on the rifle reloading page.. there are LOTS of Whelen shooters over there that can give you good loads for any bullet weight you want to shoot... including cast bullets. There's lots of info out there.... but if you want a manual, then go with one of the ones that handloader1 mentioned... also the Lyman manual has some data, I believe. Any specific questions about bullet/powder? I've only been loading mine for about 6 months now, but maybe I can help some..

Many thanks to all of you. I might ago with the Hornady manual, as it is their bullets that I have been using. Hornetguy; I might mention I was looking for a load for H335 in 170gr. and 200gr. both spitzers. Hodgdon has a load listed for the 200gr. RN. (55gr.) Got my Rem. 700 custom in '88 when it first come out. Gonna check out that site.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
