Federal Cartridge 35 Whelen Discontinued
« on: January 19, 2006, 04:05:00 AM »
FWIW-
Bad news is that Federal has discontinued it's only 35 Whelen load with the 225 Trophy bonded bear claw.  This was a popular factory load for 35 Whelen users at 2600 fps.  It was also thus a good supply of nickel plated brass.  Just info for all the soon to be NEF 35 Whelen owners.  Factory, there is still Remington and Nosler.  Rolling your own is probably still the best bet.  

Good news is Federal's site has had some nice upgrades to the ammo guide including graphical displays and bullet info/pics.

35 Whelen is still a sleeper non magnum big game cartridge.  Please folks take NEF up on their offer when they become available, maybe they will continue to give us what we ask for.
