One weird thing I've found with the 35's I've owned is how accurate they have been. My 35 whelen has been one of the most consistently accurate rifle I have ever owned.
Maybe JB is reading and can chime in, as I had a 338/06 that was 1/2 MOA with many loads, my Ruger 350 RM was a solid shooter as well.
JB had some things to say about the reason larger bores often surprise folks with accuracy. MY thoughts had been consistent powder burn given generous bore volume, but JB talked about the bullets, perhaps the concentrity of the bullet jackets.....if he sees my posts I am sure he will jump in to explain.
They do shoot, and are without a doubt very effective killers, often with exits and copious blood trail that's rarely needed and very short if so.
