Umm... Me thinks someone needs to double check what they are reading!! I went into the link just previously posted. I figured in someone is chasing elk at 8000 feet elevation. Here are the numbers for the .35 Whelen with a 250 grain Nosler Partition. This isn't a manual, but from a computer program. Now we all must take what this information says to be probably how it will work, but don't take it for fact until it is actually tested.



Here are the numbers with the .30-06 and a 165 grain Nosler Partition.

Conclusion, the .35 Whelen only drops 2 more inches than does the .30-06 at 300 yards, with a bullet weighing 85 grains MORE!! The energy that the Whelen carries is 300 ft./lbs more at 500 yards!! A "brush gun," brick thrower?" I think NOT!!

Well, that didn't work. I plugged in a B/C of .446 for the .35 and .410 for the .30-06. 200 yard zero, and 8000 feet elevation. I figured 2500 and 2800 fps for each bullet.
