Bad to the bone

i've been reading ever thing i can find on it . just wanted to hear the opinions of here . for what i want it for it sounds just right .

what ammo does he use Fred

I don't know, but if I talk to him soon I'll ask.

How easy is it to find ammo for a 35 whelen?

from what i see it pretty easy and not that high .

Federal Fusion and Hornady are looking pretty good .

I had one. Shot it 5 times. Sold it immediately.

225 grain seem to be the best all around for the Whelen.

If you just want a hard hitting 150 yards or less deer gun, I liked the 444 Marlin better. If you regularly take shots much farther than that, you'd be better served by a flatter shooting round than the 35 Whelen IMO.

BGH , it'll be for whitetails and hogs only .

yeah , there might be a 150 to 200 yards shot at times but rare with how i want to use this gun .

i have ever thing pretty much covered but i got a little nitch i want to fill . i got deer being pulled off because of corn being feed next door .

i have a 20yard gap of a stand of old timber between a nasty 5 year old clear cut and the boundary line . so i only got one shot

Get you a h&r ultra slug hunter and shoot the hornady sst slugs. Does everything you want very well.

That gun, sighted in correctly with the 180 grain bullet, is only 8" low at 300 yards. It will do it all.

180-200 are ideal for whitetails but what I know about the Whelen is the caliber typically likes the 225's the best.

For our deer, any bullet will work wonders on them.

in places in the mornings i already got a bps 10ga set up . i like the aim point i have on it .

That h&r is a whole different beast. It'll shoot a same hole group at a 100 and only drop 6 inches at 200
