Warwick MarflittSo My ADI Books 35 Whelen Reloading data is for 1-16 twist 22 inch barrel.My 35 Whelen BSA CF2 is Ackley Improved with 1-12 Twist, 26 inch Trueflite Barrel..... So with 4 inch faster twist and longer barrel.. Do I start reloads lower than Book Min? I know that the proofs in the individual rifle..... I just don't want to waste time and resources starting at the wrong point....... Any one been there before....?

Warwick MarflittRe: Reloading Data with Different Twist rate barrelsI have yet to bed this and have a new raw factory CF2 target stock in the cupboard as well..... Scopes are Sightron SIII 3.5-10x44 LRIRMOA & Nightforce NXS 1-4x24IR for thick Kaimai bush hunting....I've sat on this for too long. Life gets in the way of somethings sometimes.....

Nathan FosterRe: Reloading Data with Different Twist rate barrelsHi Warwick, don't start lower than minimum as this can result in uneven burning with many powders. The only powder you can reduce by a small margin is 2206 / H4895). If you reduce your 2209 (H4350), you may see unburned kernals and odd behavior.Yours also has a long throat. It will most likely handle generous powder loads. The Whelen is one of the few cartridges that can handle a wide range of powders without displaying problems, so long as it is loaded correctly. As always, there are many variables. |
