I've never had trouble closing in to easy range for the 35.
And this is the difference between hunting and shooting.
Its been a number of years since I ran the numbers of the 9.2/35/338-06 and maybe one more before I built the 338-06.
But IIRC the 35 whelen certainly wasn't any worse to speak of in drops and such than my 308 Win with 185 bergers.
Lets just say I"m not afraid to run the 308 out to around 750 to 800 yards any day, and only not furhter because I've never gotten around to getting firm fired drop data on it past that distance.... even though I have my JBM charts changed up to match current trajectory, I don't shoot past what I've actually fired distance wise.
So I would not worry about a whelen limiting my distances.
Heck, have run the 223 to around 600 on deer and to 1000 on paper
