Hello,
I bought a 35 whelen built on mauser action from you a few years ago. I did find a great load for it, with a 250 gr Nosler Partition, over 60.1gr of RL-15. I get 2650 fps from that, and when I settle in it shoots 1.5" groups at 200 yards.
I took it on my first black bear hunt here in Alaska last weekend, and took a beautiful black bear boar at 365 yards, with the bullet going exactly where I wanted it. Ejection and loading were smooth, though ultimately unneeded. Thanks so much for a great rifle. I've attached a few pics.
God Bless!
