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. 

In our rifle with an X-Caliber carbon fiber 22 inch barrel we are averaging 2,898 fps.

Our 35 Whelen offerings are designed to be used only in modern bolt action rifles.
