The two are so close that there's almost no difference. Both are good rounds. On paper the 338-06 has a slight advantage at long range, but on meat I still prefer the bigger bore.


Agree. The only advantage of the .338-06 is the availability of higher BC bullets. The .35 Whelen shoots heavier larger diameter bullets.
