In reality do many of you regularly use loads in your 35 whelen that are loaded down to 35 remington or 358 winchester levels. Thinking this would add some versatility to a nice lightish 35 whelen for deer hunting in the timber, etc. while keeping recoil down.
No, I have a .358 Win Savage 99 that I occasionally deer hunt with in thick piney woods. When I hunt with the Whelen, it is always with full house 225 gr loads. I don’t see much utility in wimpy .35 caliber loads, but perhaps there is some. Cheers
