[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1117150, member: 5219"] ELkwonder, You mentioned the 338 win mag as being too much recoil. You can load it down to your level of comfort. I once did just that with the 210 partition with a "sluggish" velocity of 2600 fps. It was very effective with tolerable recoil AND accurate. I checked with a recoil calculator and the recoil of many of the max loads are identical to the starting loads for the 338 win mag. You could duplicate 35 whelen velocities and recoil with the additional ability to surpass the 35 whelen in velocity as you got comfortable with the rifle or as needed. In addition to being able to duplicate the recoil of the 35 whelen you have a wider choice of higher BC bullets. Example: Hornady offers twelve 338 cal bullets and only four 35 cal bullets. There are more rifle offerings in 338 win mag as well. Choosing a 338 win mag rather than purchasing a rifle to rebarrel to the 35 whelen would save you a great deal of money and time. [/QUOTE]
