My 35W had a 20.5” barrel. Before that it was 22” which I preferred. It found a new home because I couldn’t live with the long & sloppy throat.
Now I use a 375 H&H with a 22” barrel. Wish I had started with it.
That sort of reinforces my thinking on the Whelen as well. The throat on the 35W reamer Manson made is .001 over bullet diameter and freebore is about .125.
I just reacquired a 375 H&H...it seems like a different experience, recoil wise, from the Whelen and the 9.3.
