I've shot lots of deer with the .35 Whelen and one with the 338-06. Through tough times, I had to part ways with both. 20 years later everything is in good shape and I'm looking at 3 cartridges. Which would you choose for a 250yd deer gun in the mountains in the East. I have smaller calibers that will work, but I've always liked a big caliber for deer and bear especially in the mountains to anchor either. My choices with one extra honorable mention.
Sauer 101 9.3x62
Tikka laminate stainless, bored by JES to 338-06
Same gun bored to the Whelen
*Henry all-weather 45-70
