[QUOTE="Willybuck, post: 1861569, member: 113591"] My heavy gun is a 35 Whelan with 250 grain bullets. It has knocked down moose with authority. It is on a Mauser J9 action that I use as a switch barrel. The 35 Whelan barrel was a 26 inch heavy contour but I thinned it down a bit and shortened it to 24 inches. The action is glass bedded in a walnut stock and has a Timney trigger. I have a couple 270 Winchester barrels I switch out on this action. Although I really like the Whelan I think I would keep my 300 Weatherby German made Mark V if I had to choose 1 rifle. I have used the 300 Westherby in Africa, Alaska and North America and it has always performed. With the advent of the all copper Barnes bullets the versatility of the 30 caliber expanded. I shot a Kudu stem to stern with a 180 grain Barnes TSX in Africa and recovered the bullet in the neck of the Kudu. The bullet retained 137.8 grains after breaking heavy bones and traveling through most of the length of the Kudu. This was the original blue coated Barnes TSX before the grooves. [/QUOTE]
