Prophet River has some Barnes 180gr but are sold out of the 200's they usually stock which are a better option in Barnes. Also some Rem 200gr corelocks and 250gr soft points. P&D has some Weatherby 200gr interlocks.
Talk to Prophet re ordering in some Nosler Trophy 225 AB's. I had them bring in 5 boxes for me which at the time were $85 per box of 20. More than enough good brass for me to fireform and reload for years since its not my go to rifle.
Shot the 225 Trophy AB with Labradar on hand and they were decently consistent at a low of 2670fps and high of 2705 fps. Great groupings, under. 75 with a couple of cloverleafs.
The Whelen is a very underrated cartridge imo. Does everything the 338 wm will do out to ballpark 275 yds with a lot less recoil. Hits with a helluva smack coming from 06 brass. I think you'll find 225gr at 2700fps and the 200gr Barnes at 2800fps is the sweetspot for the cartridge. There's no benefits to shooting the 250's.
