Cast loads for 35 Whelen
« on: December 15, 2009, 02:39:36 PM »
Anybody got a good cast load for the 35 Whelen? I'm looking for something that will push a 200-225 grain gas check at about 1600-1800 fps.

I have a supply of H4895 and would prefer to use that powder if it is applicable.

 you might ask the guys on this site for that info. 4895 MAY be to slow for that velocity.

Call Hodgdon.  They advertise H4895 as the ideal powder for reduced/cast bullet loads based on using 60% of the maximum load to create a 1500-2100 fps load.
