Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.The 35 Whelen was developed by Griffin & Howe in the 1920s with gunwriter Colonel Townsend Whelen’s influence. It remained a popular wildcat for more than 60 years and was standardized by Remington as a factory cartridge in 1987. Based on the 30-06 case necked up to take a .358-inch bullet, the 35 Whelen is extremely hard-hitting, yet produces surprisingly mild recoil. Within 200 yards it is as effective as the 338 Winchester Magnum, a fine choice for elk and moose in timber and adequate for the biggest bears. It is probably the most popular 35-caliber rifle cartridge, with a good selection of factory loads including: 200-grain bullet at 2675 feet per second; and 250-grain bullet at a very credible 2400 fps. Remington has remained the primary source for production rifles, but it is offered in some other platforms. — Craig Boddington
