The Whelen will have less muzzle blast.
The Whelen does not need a magnum action.
The Whelen will have less felt recoil. maybe?
The Whelen makes a bigger hole.
They use the same length action don't they?
I have shot both and owned a Whelen. The Whelen was a puppy dog in the recoil department comparted to the .300's I've shot. That could be the stock as well, the Whelen had a Mickey on it.
