[QUOTE="Heavyiron, post: 1786771, member: 95875"] Have a 35 whelen in remington 700 bdl. It is a delight to hunt with. It is similar as mentioned to the 30-06 with a 180 grain bullet. The 225 grain bullet is the one i use mostly. The sierra 225 for deer and other similar size game. The 225 grain barnes for elk, and hopefully if i ever go on a moose hunt. Have never encountered a griz, but if i do the 225 barnes should be enough. It was the late 90's before i got my first whelen. I would heap rather have it than the 338 win. It has maybe 25 yards less reach, but also less recoil. With good handloads it trails the 338 with the 250 grain bullet by about 100 fps. [/QUOTE]
