[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 2360925, member: 69192"] Right now there are three of us who hunt with 35 Whelens, there's no mystery about them they shoot, are easy to reload for and the ones we have are extremely accurate. We have been using Barnes 225gr TSX bullets, bear drop like they have been hit with lightening. I have also used the .358 Winchester on a bear a few years ago due to an issue with a rifle. Again that bear was hit broadside, behind the shoulder about five-inches, broke both shoulders, the bear ran about 30 feet and dropped; Barnes 200gr TTSX BT. The only mystery to me is that the shooting industry is more concerned about selling new rifles, in new cartridges, and ignore a round that does everything that the older cartridges have been doing for years. If you would like to see and real impressive cartridge, take a look at the .358 Norma magnum. Again another cartridge that is overlooked by the shooting industry. [/QUOTE]
