The 35 Whelen is a powerful medium bore cartridge that was created by necking up the 30-06 case to .358" diameter.  It is very efficient and will produce velocities that are higher than the 30-06 with equal weight bullets.  With our loads the 35 Whelen is effective to 500 yards with the lighter bullet offerings.  Our 35 Whelen offerings are designed to be used only in modern bolt action rifles.
