You won't go wrong with either one.


Actually 35 cal bullets go from 180 - 310gr and if you include Cutting edge bullets both the Whelen and 9.3x62 have even lighter bullets available.

I have said it before that it is a lot like comparing a 270 Win to 280 Rem there really isn't much difference between them. If you are a heavy bullet kind of guy then the 9.3x62 might be the best, if you like bullets in the 200-250 gr range than maybe the Whelen is the one for you. Of course you could load a 275 gr Woodleigh in your 35 Whelen or a 232 gr Norma Oryx in your 9.3x62 wink

I only have a 35 Whelen right now but would love to add the right 9.3x62 just because one day, they are both cool rounds.........
