Description

The .35 Whelen has earned its reputation as one of the most effective big-game cartridges available, and Double Tap's Safari load takes full advantage of what this caliber offers. Built around the 180-grain Barnes Tipped TSX bullet, this ammunition delivers the kind of ballistic performance that puts it at the top of Whelen loads across the board.

Flat Trajectory and Penetration

What sets this Double Tap 180-grain load apart is how flat it shoots for a .35 Whelen. At 3000 fps, it's loaded hotter than standard factory offerings, and that extra velocity keeps your shots above the line from 100 to 300 yards, making hold-over calls a lot simpler in the field. The Barnes TTSX construction gives you expansion right where you need it, plus the kind of penetration that won't quit on you when game tries to use heavy bone or thick hide as a shield. The lead-free design doesn't compromise any of that terminal performance.

Built for North American Big Game

Whether you're hunting elk in tight cover, pursuing black bear in varied terrain, or stalking moose through brush country, this load handles it all. The .35 Whelen naturally punches above its weight class compared to standard .30-06 loads, giving you a larger diameter bullet that transfers energy faster and more decisively. It's the kind of cartridge that works equally well at 50 yards in heavy timber or out to 250 yards in semi-open country. Double Tap's personal attention to hand loading each round means consistency you can trust when it counts.

Dependable Field Performance

Ammo spec says 3000 fps and 3598 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, and this load delivers exactly what it promises. Each box contains 20 rounds packed in virgin brass cases, making it suitable for either hunting expeditions or reloading after use. The .35 Whelen doesn't produce excessive recoil the way some magnum cartridges do, which means you stay comfortable behind the rifle and put better shots downrange. For hunters who appreciate a versatile, effective cartridge that doesn't require the overkill of a magnum but doesn't compromise on stopping power, this is the ammunition that makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions

What game is the Double Tap .35 Whelen 180gr suitable for?

This load works well on elk, black bear, moose, and other large North American game. The 180-grain Barnes TTSX bullet provides reliable expansion and penetration at ranges up to 300 yards, making it versatile enough for various hunting scenarios from thick timber to semi-open terrain.

How does the 180-grain load compare to heavier .35 Whelen options?

The 180-grain load shoots flatter than heavier options like 200, 225, or 250-grain bullets, which means less hold-over adjustment at distance. It's an excellent choice if you want a good balance between trajectory and the heavy-hitting performance the Whelen is known for, without the drop of slower, heavier projectiles.

Is the lead-free design safe to use in my .35 Whelen rifle?

Yes, Double Tap's lead-free load is engineered and safe for rifles chambered in .35 Whelen. The Barnes TTSX bullet performs identically to its lead-core counterparts in terms of expansion, penetration, and accuracy. You get the same field performance without any compromise.

Can I reload these brass cases after firing?

Absolutely. The ammunition ships in virgin brass cases that are suitable for reloading. After firing, you can process and reload these cases using standard .35 Whelen reloading procedures and components, making it a cost-effective option for long-term shooters and hunters.
