Thanks
That's what I've been able to glean....I found a very similar write up in my "Cartridges of the World"
They are both great loads....both kinda mimic each other with a little advantage to the 338-06 at least when you look at certain numbers.
But, since I'm terminally CHEAP...I think I will opt for the 35 Whelen as the ammo over the counter is a little cheaper. I load...but not a ton.
Besides...the 35 Whelen swap barrel combo kit (from Midway and for my Savage) will save me even more $$ than the swap barrel 338-06 rig.
