Yep! Both the .35 Whelan and 9.3x62 are only "light-recoiling" compared to, say, the .340 Weatherby....[/quote]
I've owned all of them, never found first two terrible to shoot. The 340 had a brake on it, gutted my scopes.! I once tried a 280 Remington necked up to 338. It made a beautiful round, was easy to shoot in the 9+ pound Mod 70 Super Grade, but the brass was nickel. I had so many split necks I abandoned it. I am seriously considering a JES rebore to 338/06 and "maybe" have a brake put on it. I have a wad of components.
