Loads and Pressure for 35 Whelen

Tatume-That link doesn't work. All I got was a "www" in the address tab.

I guess I still feel in the dark a little with where to start/stop with powders like RL15 and 4064. Start loads for a 200 gr bullet in Horndady's manual suggest 54-57.8 gr max. Speer list the 220 gr bullet and RL15 at a start of 56-60 gr max. With 4064 and that same bullet their start is 52 gr and max 56 gr. How close can you get to maximum with cast loads using this data?

In a Whelen with a 14 or 16 twist I think you can get prerry darn near max. I haven't tried it yet but I'm on the way there

I settled on the 36-210B and 36-245S from Tom and got the mould delivered while I was still in the hospital. I still can't stand long enough to do any casting but hopefully not much longer. I'm looking at 56 gr of RL-15 for the 210 gr bullet and about 50 gr for the 245 gr. Both use GC's. If this is too much/little please, someone chime in.
