Re: Why has the 35 Whelen never caught on?

... maybe Woodleigh could be prevailed upon to knock up some stumpy 275-grainers, short enough not to react to slow rifling within bush distances.
Woodleigh already has their PP configured 275gr, I was surprised by this projectile as I thought he was doing a RN which I'd have preferred as I feel they open faster and show more 'striking effect'.
But ... if you have a strong press, lube and a Lee sizing die in 0.358 and 0.357" ... you can push the Woodleigh 286gr 9.3mm through it and get your RN pill. I have a few to try. The bearing length increases significantly, but the long neck on the Whelen compensates perfectly.
