I tried this on the a Ask the Gunwriters forum a few days ago but it is so busy there that it dissapeared before you could see it. I would like to know how you would rate the 35 Whelen for hunting coastal grizzlies in the fall along the salmon spawning creeks? I will always have a Whelen but I have been wanting a 358 Norma as well mostly for grizzly. Would a 250 gr bullet travelling 250 fps faster than the Whelen be that much better? Also will the heavyweights like the 310 gr Woodleigh or 280 gr Swift be better than say a 250 gr Nosler in the Whelen? If there is not much difference in the killing power between the two cartridges then I will give up on the 358 Norma.
