The only problem with 35 Whelen deer stories is that they are so short. Just like the bloodtrails. You shoot , the deer dies, end of story.
Get yourself some Imr 4320 and some 225 gr. Noslers and be ready for big critters. I have some 275 gr Barnes Originals I am saving for escaping circus tigers.
The 225 gr. Sierra is very accurate in my rifle. All of the bullets have worked well on deer. This cartridge is a win/ win. Just go hunting!
