Depends on the gun. My CVA likes federal premium bonded bearclaws in 225 grain. Little brothers H&R likes Remington 200gr. The hornadays shoot pretty well in either gun, and they're the easiest to find. Have heard good things about the 180gr loads but the maker is slipping my mind. Get with someone else who has one and try out a few in 3 shot groups.

What has been your experience with the .35 Whelen on deer? Made a hunt with a group last year. All deer shot with the .35 ran off. Ones shot with a 45.70 fell in tracks. I have killed a dozen or so with my 45.70. All in tracks or within 5 yards. I like the idea of longer range capability with the .35. I limit my shots to less than 200 yards with the 45.70 now.
