Thanks a million for the post and pictures. I suspect that the 35 Newton with the 250 grain bullet would penetrate deeper than the 35 Whelen with a 225 grain bullet at somewhat less velocity.
I have shot a few deer and antelope with the 25/06 and would be hard pressed to tell the difference in it's effectiveness and that of the 270. That 35 Newton of your's must be a heck of an elk rifle, I would think. It apparently has power enough to expand bullets yet still drive them deep.
