Frequently Asked Questions
Remington .35 Whelen Ammo
What ammo is best for 35 Whelen?
For .35 Whelen hunting, 225 to 250 grain bullets work best for big game. Popular choices include Nosler Accubond, Speer Hot-Cor, and Barnes TSX. Factory ammo typically runs $35–$84. Use heavier bullets for elk and moose, lighter loads for deer and hogs.
What is 35 Whelen equivalent to?
.35 Whelen is based on the .30-06 case necked up to accept a .358-inch bullet. It delivers performance comparable to or exceeding the .338 Winchester Magnum, achieving that power with roughly 20% less powder. It is well-suited for elk, moose, and bear at moderate ranges.
What is the effective range of 35 Whelen ammo?
.35 Whelen bullets maintain reliable expansion between roughly 2200 fps and 1800 fps. Most hunters shoot confidently to 400 yards, and properly handloaded rounds remain effective on moose-size game to 500 yards. Energy stays above 1,000 ft.-lbs. to nearly 600 yards, though bullet drop and wind drift require careful attention at distance.
What bullet weight is best for a 35 Whelen?
For .35 Whelen, 225–250 grain bullets work best for elk and moose, while 180–200 grain bullets suit deer and hogs. Heavier bullets retain energy at distance; lighter ones are adequate for closer timber shots. Match bullet weight to your target game and expected shooting range.
Is a 35 Whelen good for deer hunting?
Yes, .35 Whelen is excellent for deer. Its .358-inch bullet delivers more power than needed for whitetail, producing quick, clean kills at typical hunting ranges. Use 200–250 grain bullets for best results. Ammunition runs roughly $46 per box.
Does Remington make a 35 Whelen?
Yes, Remington manufactures .35 Whelen ammunition in two variants: a 250-grain Pointed Soft Point load in their High Performance Rifle line, and a 200-grain Core-Lokt load. Remington also originally developed the .35 Whelen cartridge, standardizing it as a SAAMI cartridge in 1987.
How much does a 35 Whelen cost?
