Muledeerhunter....if a genie came from a bottle and gave me three wishes.....I'd wish for a .338-06 for you....

Sorry....I didn't mean to badmouth the .35 Whelen, it's a truly powerful cartridge. I shot one many years before Remington bought it out as a factory cartridge. If the quality of bullets available for the .358 caliber was a fine as the .338 caliber, I'd have owned one years ago!!!
