.35 Winchester DR range report.
#89765 - 26/11/07 10:46 AM

Finally got to shoot (today, went flying yesterday) some "work-up" loads in an attempt to regulate some bullets.

I have some Hornady Inter-lock 250 grain round nose and they shot great (1.8"), albeit 3" high.

The 200 grain Sierra round nose was perfect (1.6" in 10 ring) Probably will buy Remington Cor-Lokt bulk bullets. Reviews are good.

I have a box of 225 grain Nosler Accu-Bond ($47.00 / 50) and they shot like shit, no matter what I did. This was the bullet I was hoping to nail. I think they are too pointy. I'm pissed!

1: If anyone has 12 or 14 .358 Woodleigh 250 round nose, PM me. I have 3/4 box of Nosler 225 for you.

2: Are Hornady Interlock any good, how do they hold up?

My bro uses them in his .356 Winchester M94. The velocity from the 20" barrel is 2,150fps with 1.5" accuracy off the bench at 100 meters. They kill moose (to 200 yards) and bears (been all close shots) splendidly with excellent penetration. Your .35 Winchester should run another 100fps or so, and be a perfect platform for them.

Daryl,

The Hornady's were kind of a "free-bee" as they came with "factory" .35 WCF ammo that I pulled the all bullets on. I was not about to shoot an unknown cartridge in my 100 year old double.

As I have stated in many previous post; I'm a huge advocate of bonded bullets because of the tremendous weight retention. Obviating the "need" for high velocity to achieve good terminal ballistics.
