[QUOTE="j3cub, post: 1106457, member: 72220"] A number of years ago I saw an article in the Rifleman about a Remington 760 in 35 Whelen used for Elk hunting. This round was developed by Whelen by sizing up the neck of the 30-06 to 35 cal. The shoulder is on the smallish side with reports by some, especially when shot in the Encore, to have insufficient firing pin impact from shoulder collapse. I have not heard of this being a problem in any other type of rifle. Yah, this could be a sweet choice for someone who wanted both a good elk round and a back up for bear especially on the western side of the continental divide where you are in the rain forest part of the north west. 250 gr (16 g) RN 2,523 ft/s (769 m/s) 3,535 ft·lbf (4,793 J [/QUOTE]
