If I ever had to replace my Remington Classic 35 Whelen, I might think long and hard about a Stainless Howa 338-06. whelennut
I've read that although the .338-06 may have better ballistics, the .35 Whelen performs better in the field, in other words it performs better than the ballistics would indicate. Having no first-hand experience with either, I would be interested to hear the opinions of those that have used both. Is the main advantage increased velocity? I guess you could AI the Whelen for an additional 100-150 fps, which seem like it's hardly worth the effort.
