I would like to develop a light plinking load for my .35 Whelen. I am looking at using .357 158gr pistol bullets for this. Has anyone here done this?
I have found a few recipes for this. Two from Speer's #13 reloading manual that I have powder for: 42grs of Reloader 7 and 45grs of IMR4895 (both not to be reduced)
Another is from here: http://www.reloadammo.com/35whelenload.htm 31grs of 2400 (a pistol powder)
I have also been looking at C.E. Harris's "The Load" http://members.shaw.ca/cronhelm/TheLoad.html 13 grs of Red Dot (shotshell powder)
I have also looked at using a Trail Boss load based upon this article: http://www.surplusrifle.com/articles2008/trailbosskiss/index.asp
Any opinons, experince, or new ideas welcome.
