Furprick, Ray and Phil thank you for answering my question. I think I can let go of the 358 Norma now. From what the 3 of you and other knowledgeable riflemen have also said I guess there isn't much difference between the 338 win, 35 whelen, 358 norma at the close ranges bears are usually shot. My whelen holds 6 rounds with one up the spout which is a comfort in the thick brush. Now I just have to draw another tag.
