Things change. Gun writers wrote about belted magnums and we all thought we needed them. Then Ruger came out with the beltless cartridges. I have a 35 Whelen and love it. I almost bought a Ruger.375 but got the H&H instead. People love to split hairs. It is a form of recreation. You could get by with Nosler 200 gr 30-06 shells or you could buy a 35 Whelen. Who cares? Certainly not the bears. I don't understand spending thousands on a custom Mauser but not wanting to pay much for reloading equipment. Your call, none of my business
I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger! There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.
