[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 927564, member: 48043"] I have a pair of 270 win's (one tikka and one Marlin) and both do well with 130 grain mono bullets. My tikka shoots the 130 barnes mrx into 1" at 200 yards and my marlin will stay sub moa with the 130 gmx. I've plowed the 130 mrx pills into heavy prairie dirt at 200 yards and dug them out to have them weigh 128-130 grains after washing them. I wouldn't hesitate to put either one through a mule deer buck. As to your 35 whelen idea, I have one also and it is a hoot. My brother shot a big mule deer doe with it when he owned it and it was a bang/ flop; we use the 220 speer fp bullet in the rifle. I also have a 375 [EMAIL="h@h"]h@h[/EMAIL], and while a 375 is by far the hardest hitting of any caliber mentioned in the thread, you will need to buy a heavier rifle like a cz and put a good pad on it for it to be mild on your shoulder. My lightweight rem700 ( 8# scoped) will actually scoot you back in prone shooting its 300 tsx bullets. [/QUOTE]
