buttstock,
I have read a lot of the ballisticstudies.com stuff over the years, and in smaller calibers (such as the .270 Winchester) respect his experience, partly because I have a LOT of experience with the 270 with various bullets on similar-sized game, and his agrees with mine. (Of course, this is a common reason for "agreeing" with gun writers!)
But almost all of his experience is in New Zealand, and apparently not with a wide variety of bullets in either the .35 Whelen or 9.3x62. A good example is the 286-grain Nosler Partition, which I've used on game weighing from around 125 pounds to 10 times that, from northern North America to southern Africa, handloaded to around 2450 to 2500 fps It ALWAYS expands easily even on lighter game, killing quickly, yet also penetrating very deeply on heavier game.
