I would like to load some 225 Grain Sierra Game kings at about 2250-2450 fps. In a modern Interarms Mark X action rifle chambered for 35 Remington. I really don't need the power that reaming it to a Whelen would produce. It has a 24" tube. Someone probably built it for a Wife or Starter rifle. Any ideas as to Max capabilities of the caliber would be appreciated. I feel the action and barrel will allow some heavy bullets to be shot safely at those velocities.
