"The irony is that the .35 Whelen is not a short range rifle like many would have you beleive. Up to 300 yds its no different trazectory wise than any other 06 type round and not that far off a magnum either."

TerryM,

You are absolutely right, the .35 Whelen is being touted more and more as a good round out to 300-325 with the 225 grain bullet and even with the 250 grain. In fact I am going to build one up with a Savage action and a PACNOR 24" barrel. With thepump action in .35 Whelen I have the best of both worlds, quick action and aGREAT round. I was commenting on the action of the Remington 7600 and the great thing about having one in .35 Whelen is that when I have to shoot across a canyon or a saddle, I wont have to worry about clammering around trying to get closer with different caliber like say my Marlin 1895 Cowboy in .45-70 but wait, with that 26 inch barrel I should be able to reach out there, huh? Oh man, I have a lot of decisions to make now .
