Ya think!
Of course you can always load a 158-grain .357 bullet in a .35 Whelen. I bet it wouldn't be too hard to get it up to 2950!
Why not a 30-06 energy level with a 38 special case ? roger
Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Instead of 2957 fps it is probably closer to 957 fps. This is an obvious typo and someone should alert the folks about the error.
I can see some dolt using a chronograph and his favorite powder trying to get that same velocity and ruining a good gun and maybe the rest of his life.
Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.
