[QUOTE="Barkbuster20, post: 2426174, member: 116205"] In regards to OP between 338-06, 35 whelen, and 9.3x62 I believe the whelen loses to both the 9.3 and 338 due to lower sectional density bullets. If big bears are involved i want SD over 300 at over 2400 FPS. The whelen does not meet this standard easily with bullets I would find suitable. Weldcore bullets are too soft IMO. 338 is more well rounded than the 9.3 but less of a stopper. I prefer magnums but the smaller ones can be had with 5 round capacity which could be an advantage in a slimmer package. [/QUOTE]
