EddyBo, I think you right about the .27Whelen making a good squirrel gun and it would work great on fox squirrels but wouldn't it "over penetrate" the young cat squirrels?

Well, if we're doing pictures now...

This one's heading to the East Kutenays in 46 days in search of Shiras Moose. I'm confident the 250 Hornadys will be up to the task.
This rifle was bought on a whim, back when funds were flush, & Big Green was giving 'em away for some reason. I had no idea the rifle, and the cartridge, would endear themselves to me so.
Oh... it seems to shoot pretty well, too. Here are 9 shots on my patented, super-sophisticated target media:

I don't know if #2 & #5 were flinches, or just the result of trying to shoot groups with a 4x. Either way, I'm proclaiming this rifle's accuracy to be "Minute o' Moose".

Looks to me that you missed the orange dot nine times in a row.

I saw a movie where only the military and the police had guns. It was called Schindler's List.

Awwww, c'mon, guys! I was just looking at different loads, before I dialed-in the crosshairs! Hey, what if I found a great shooting load for some 73.659 grain TTSX .35 cal bullets at 4000 fps???? We all know that big game animals are far more allergic to copper than they are lead...  FC

One of the big problems with the 35 Whelen is that it is hard to justify owning any other rifles, once you have seen what the 35 Whelen is capable of!
You have it right, I bought a 9.3 to duplicate the whelen but in a Sako M-85 You go, Dude !!
