| Which Powder to Try First (35Wh 225gr Accubond) | Login/Join |
| one of us |
this off-season, one of my projects is to develop a load for my 35 Whelen using the new(ish) Nosler Accubond 225gr. medium/heavy sporter contour 24" barrel... suggestions? I use 4064 with the 250s I'm shooting now (and get 1/3-inch groups)... powder with the most votes will be the first tried! ______________________________________________________________________________ When people refer to a rifle as "ugly," what they are really saying is "push-feed." | ||

I got my load from the Nosler website....59 grains RL-15.....and it works! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

Reloader 15 or IMR 4064 would be my choices. Jason | |||

Yup, RL-15 is your brew for the Whelen. Free men should not be subjected to permits, paperwork and taxation in order to carry any firearm. NRA Benefactor | |||

I'd use IMR 4320 .. It works for the 250's also.. AK | |||

I use Norma 203b for both 225 and 250 grain bullets and I'm not going to switch. I read that it is the same powder as Re15 but with less lot to lot variation. | |||

sounds like RL-15 it is... although the 203b is interesting... ______________________________________________________________________________ When people refer to a rifle as "ugly," what they are really saying is "push-feed." | |||

 About 56 grains of IMR 4064 should give good results.; probably about 2550 fps.+. If you do, start a little lower and work up. Your individual rifle may handle more or less safely.  rogerOld age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age!

That max manual load of RL15 in my 24" tube will print 3/4" groups and speed is 2730 (+-9fps). | |||

I'm getting very good results with H-380 in my 35 Whelen, with 225 gn AB's. Extreme Custom Gunsmithing LLC, ecg@wheatstate.com | |||

You're getting a tad better than I am but it's darn close. Nosler did their homework on this one! I sure wish I knew what the pressure is on that load. RP case, 59 grains RL-15, Nosler Partition 225 grain, OAL of 3.240.....it's a fine load. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

My cousin has a Ruger #1 in 35 Whelan and I loaded some test rounds for him using IMR-4064 and 225 Gr. Nosler Partitions. It was the only load we tried. Groups of approx. .75 at 100 yds. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||
