Believe me, there is a difference between the 35 Whelen and 375 H+H in rifles of equal weight...2 totally different animals (although neither is unbearable)!


BINGO and spot on!

It always amazes me when people talk up the 9.3x62 so much when it is basically just a 06 necked up to 9.3. Good round no doubt, but it is not in the league of the 375!

Now the 9.3x64 a round I've worked with a bit is very much so in the league of the good old 375.

There is a darn good reason why there is such a diff between the recoil and it will be there.
