StoneybrokeFederal 35 Whelen Ammo
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.

<9.3x62>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...

WesternmassmanI 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!

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

CARNEI 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
