[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1271848, member: 27307"] I have found the standard 35 Whelen to be perfectly sufficient as a hunting cartridge. There is no need to go to the sharper shoulder. Here is an article written by a friend of mine about his safari using the 35 Whelen: [url=http://www.soulofacarp.com/africanhunter/firearms/35_whelen_zimbabwe_01.htm]35 Whelen in Zimbabwe[/url] I agree with having the action cleaned up and blueprinted although I would [B]insist[/B] on having a new recoil lug added to the build. The new recoil lugs are ground flat and you can have one just ever slightly bigger for almost no money at all. If you're getting the action/bolt blueprinted, get a new lug! Regards. [/QUOTE]
