.35s are great. I have used the Whelen and the .350 rem mag (have a 600 that is now a safe queen until it finds a new, loving home). Still have some Hornady 250 spire points but like the article in Handloader a couple decades ago said, the 225 Sierra boat tail may be ideal. Layne Simpson wrote a nice article on the Model 600, getting over 2500 fps from 250s, as I recall. Both Elmer and Ken Waters came to prefer the BC and SD of .338s and that thinking has diluted the interest in the .35s--but both sizes are great, do very well in the field. Elmer's "needle blowers" say they are "overkill" to which he responded, "what? Do you think it will be overdead?" Live long, medium bores!
