Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Choosing Between 9.3x62 and .35 Whelen Ackley Improved

I know that I’ll be carrying my Whelen instead of one of my .338’s for most stuff in the coming seasons but I still love the .338wm and it’s a red blooded American cartridge just like the Whelen…..

If I wasn’t so damn practical I’d have the 1954 Model 70 rebored by JES to 9.3 but I don’t gain anything over the Whelen, nothing useful anyway and I would have another cartridge to load for and oddball bullets to buy. A couple .338’s and a couple Whelen’s oughta do anything I need to do including Kodiak.
