Out of these three which is the best non-magnum medium bore if you had to pick one to use on all of the larger North American game, short of the big bears?
I recently went through the same decision process. Though, I also considered the possibility of bear. My decision was also based on 225 yds as pretty much maximum shot distance. And a re-bore of an existing shorter heavier weight barrel in 30-06. I eventually decided on the 35 Whelen. I have the brass, bullets, powder, and dies. I am still waiting on bedding of my donor rifle. Once I have it in hand, it will be going for the re-bore.
