sorry, I was NOT trying to yell or be controversal,I was only to highlite the important info!
Those of us that are .35 fans do tend to be passionate about it
I have only shot deer and groundhogs with mine so far, but they have all been impressive kills. IIRC I'm at 12 bang flops in a row with the Whelen on deer and not a lot of meat damage around the wound area. The Hornady 180 SSP bullet does a fine job on groundhogs.
I was really surprised to see the Remington CDL Whelens not sell well. I have been tempted to pick one up because the chamber on my Ackley Whelen was cut long for heaver bullets. In order to get good accuracy with the cast 275 grain bullets I have to seat them so far out that they will not feed well from the magazine.
I picked up the .358 mostly to try as a cast bullet gun.
