I'd take a 35 whelen and have two loads sighted in and ready to hit the woods. One load with 158swc 38spl bullets at 1400 fps for small game, and the other for large game. The trick is knowing what you're doing with either equally well
One can do similar with a .358 Winchester.
Having two scopes, each set up for a specific load solves the different POI for the two classes of ammo.
I have three set up for mine, have that many types of loads.
Those 35’s are interesting calibers with lots of options. I’d say it would be hard to find more effective options in another bore size.
