Adam, I made myself a .35 Whelen in 2000 for a moose hunt. I couldn't get groups of less than about 2 1/2 inches at first. I was wsuing 225 Sierra and Barnes bullets. I finally tried BL C(2) and came up with a 3/4 inch group (5 Shots). I was using 60 grains of the BL C(2) for that load. I put three bullets through the heart region of a nice 41+ bull in Wyoming before he stopped and toppled over. My hand covered all three entrance holes and I was concerned that he would make it into a beaver pond. Great memory and a great rifle.
