Description

The DoubleTap .35 Whelen 180gr Barnes TTSX lead-free ammunition is a 20-round box built for hunters who run a .35 Whelen rifle. DoubleTap loads the Barnes TTSX bullet and says it flies flat and gives excellent penetration, calling it a good load for deer, antelope and bear. The maker claims this load flies flatter than any .35 Whelen ever made out to 500 yards, and it publishes a 200-yard-zero table to back that up. Muzzle velocity is rated at 3000 fps from a 24-inch Remington 700 barrel.
