Brad I reality you are right in a sense the 350 wasn't ballistically new because Newton and Whelen had already stuffed a similar case with the 35 cal bullet and obtained the almost exact performance. I own both and much prefer the Whelen
Jeff I precieve the nomenclature of short as a .308 length action not an 06. They were putting magnum cartridges in 06 length actions in the 20's The 35 Newton predated both the Whelen and the 350. But neither could be considered "short"
