Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 300 Win vs 35 Whelen?

Crowhunter hit it on the head. A 200 gr 35 cal Horn has a bc of .301 and a SD of .223 while a 200 gr NPT has .484 bc and a .301 sd. Apples to oranges indeed. I've used 200 Corelokts out of my Whelen on deer, yup it kills them. It acts more like a 125 gr in an 30-06 though . A fairer comparison would be 250 gr 35 against the 200 30 cal. When you shoot deer and elk with a 225 NPT at 2500+ out of a Whelen it doesn't blow the crap out of your eating and I suspect that is why more than a few guys like 200+ gr 30's the same reason Plus penetration at all angles. STA you need to come up with more plausible comparisons than that. Magnum Man
