I won’t argue the merits of any of the .358 or .366 cartridges, but the .35 Whelen with Federal 225 gr TBBC has bang-flopped more than a few elk for me. 2,723 fps MV has been about all I have wrung out of a 225 gr Partition with my 22” barreled M700. Very accurate load with CFE 223 using Speer data to start. That was the sweet spot for that rifle and load. I think most any 225 or 250 gr bullet started at 2,600 fps MV will get the job done at any sane range. Happy Trails
