Hello everyone.
I just ordered some 160 grain Cutting Edge Copper Raptor bullets for my 35,Whelen. I am going to call Cutting Edge for a load recommendation. But I am interested to hear if anyone has any experience or thoughts regarding these bullets. I intend to use them on black tail deer and feral hogs.
Thanks

Barry

I have not tried anything less than 180 gr barnes bullets but the 180, 200, 225gr barnes have performed flawlessly with caribou and moose... as in one shot and everything has fallen within 10 feet of being hit.
