thanks for the links and info neweboarhunter ,

and yep , i love the .35 whelen , i' ve got one in the model 700 classic limited , but i really like the .35 caliber period , i' ve got a .35 remington in a marlin 336 , and i just aquired a new remington m 673 in the .350 rem. mag cartridge , i haven' t gotten to shoot the .350 yet as i' m kind of busy at work right now , and when i' m not busy , it seems it' s always raining here.

thanks again my friend
