[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 2069235, member: 60453"] I have two .35 Whelens. It kills better than any .30 I've ever used. But its a handloading proposition and components are limited. I make a lot of my brass for this round from 30-06, though and that's pretty easy. I wouldn't want to shoot antelope with it because there wouldn't be much left, but for deer and up its just about unbeatable. I use the 225 gr Sierra GK in it, along with the 250 gr Speer HotCor. Both rifles will get over 2730fps with the Sierra, and upwards of 2650-2675 fps with the Speer. The one with the 26" Shaw 1 in 14 twist barrel is more like 2800 with the Sierra and around 2750 with the Speer. Exit wounds in deer are baseball size at over 400 yards. Both shoot flat enough for one shot kills out to 600 yards. If you can put a Whelen bullet in the chest on a deer or elk it will be pretty much all over. I've killed around 25 Kansas Whitetails with the Whelen. [/QUOTE]
