One nice advantage of the 35's is the ability to use 357 pistol bullets- either reloaded or from a cartridge adapter. I am setting up a stainless Ruger No 1 in 35 Whelen for just this purpose.
Wow:
A stainless Ruger #1 set up just to shoot pistol bullets from the 35 Whelen case.
You Sir, have earned a PhD. in Rifle-Loony with that.
My great and total admiration is yours.
I am humbled.
