Believe it or not, one of my favorite reduced loads for the .35 Whelen uses the 35-200FN with the GC heel bored out to give a 215-grain plainbased bullet, which I cast from wheelweights with 8.4 grains of Bullseye pistol powder. Velocity is about 1300 fps. Pleasant, accurate and effective. A fine 50-yard deer load, BTW.
