I have a Rem. 7600 in .35 whelen but the deer I have shot with factory 250 grain bullets have not died well. If I handloaded some fast opening Nosler balistic tips it may work better. However I recently got a Savage 99 in .300 sav. and used it to take a bull moose a white-tail doe and two wolves. I like it a lot as my fast handling bush gun. In the mountains or prairie I use a long barreled bolt action.
I found that the 220 grain Speer FP would go through whitetail does shot behind the shoulder with what looked like almost no expansion when fired from the 356 WIN, so I changed to the 180 grain Speer FP and got the quicker kills that I was looking for.
