John. I just based my comment on what Barnes suggests in their manual. I have a supply of 120 and 140 gr. Barnes TSX bullets and that 120 gr. bullet looks mighty small. I have to wonder how it would do on heavy bone should that be what I hit? I'm handicapped to some degree with one bad knee and the out starting to go. Can't trail an elk too far if it decides to head to another mountain. Probably should stick with the .35 Whelen and go with that. laugh
