One of the complaints about the 35 Whelen is that there isn't a good choice of factory ammunition. I'm not sure that that's the case. Sure, Whelen ammunition isn't available in the vast array of choices as offered by, for example, the 30-06. But, there are a number of outstanding choices of 35 Whelen factory ammunition.
If I had a complaint, it would be that there isn't a good choice of budget ammunition for the Whelen; but that can be countered with the argument that the 35 Whelen is not the kind of rifle one spends a lot of time with, plinking. And, should anyone be buying "budget" ammunition for hunting when the goal is clean and lethal kills?
The following is a list of factory ammunition available in 35 Whelen:
Federal Premium:
Remington: High Performance Rifle 250 grain PSP
Remington: Core-Lokt 200 grain
Barnes: Vor-TX TTSX 180 grain
Nosler Handloaded Custom:

- 225 grain Partition
- 250 grain Partition
Hornady: 200 grain SP Superformance

Doubletap Ammunition:

Just found your site Paul! I completed a 1 year+ evaluation of factory ammunitionion a Shaw MK-VII chambered in .35 Whelen, and the Nosler Trophy Grade 225gr Accubond was head and shoulders better than anything else. Honest .65 MOA for a 3 shot group at 100 yards. Would love to send you pictures and the story, if you can send me a way to contact you.
