.35 Whelen - The Most Underrated Non-Magnum Big Game Cartridge
The .35 Whelen was developed in 1922 as a wildcat cartridge, with the .30-06 Springfield as its parent case. Remington Arms Company standardized the .35 Whelen as a standard commercial round and first offered it in the Remington Model 700 Classic in 1988. It has since been chambered in bolt-action, semi-automatic, and single-shot rifles by other arms makers. Most of the guns were chambered in 1:12, 1:14, and 1:16 twist rates. Remington used the 1:16 twist rate for its rifles.

I am a big fan of the Hornady CX bullet and the Barnes TSX bullet. So, I order fifty of their 7mm 143gr Copper Rose to load in 7PRC, along with fifty 30cal Copper Rose 168gr for testing in 30-06 Springfield. Once the order was placed, the bullets showed up at my door three days later. Kelby's 7m
