Finally got done with load development

Shooting 1/2" groups with this 245gr Stone Hammer at 2790 fps. Smoking fast for this 23" barrel and is going to absolutely smash anything that gets in front of it. Extremely nice shooting rifle

Very nice results, and a great looking rifle.  I haven't loaded up my Hammer Hunters in my 35 Whelen yet, as I have a pile of 250gr Hot Cors loaded up already.  Good to see you're getting good groups.  I just had my 35 Whelen threaded for use with my suppressor, and the gunsmith cut it from 24" down to 22".  Haven't put a chronograph on it yet to see the velocity loss.  I do enjoy having the suppressor on it though.

I havent shot it with a can yet as my 46 cal is living on my 20" barrel 338 WM. I should try it though

The Hybrid 46 definitely takes some recoil out of the 35 Whelen.  More noticeable reduction than my 30 cal cans have on my other rifles.
