I've come upon several boxes of Federal 35 Whelen ammo loaded with the 225 TBBC bullet. I can buy the loaded ammo cheaper than the bear claw bullets. Has anyone here used this ammunition? Planned use will be on moose and caribou.

Yup, good stuff. I think Federal has discontinued this loads, IIRC - I didn't see it on their website last time I was there...

I hope I am wrong...

I have only used it in preparation for an Elk Hunt. It shot fine in my M700 Classic. I would think that it would work good for Moose as I have used Remington factory ammo on Moose and Caribou with success, and that was anemic ammo!

A few folks I know have used it in Africa on plains game and were very happy with the results.

You won't find a better 35 W factory load.

I've got a stash of it but have never killed anything with it. Reports around here are good.

I agree very much with Mr B. Federal's load for for the 35 works well. Sorry if in fact Federal has stopped loading it.

However, there is another choise
