I am always amazed at how emotional someone gets when they somehow feel their pet round is being insulted. The 35 Whelen, 9.3x62 and 375 H&H can all kill the biggest bears and none of them are going to disappear anytime soon.

Next time you are hunting anywhere in the world try to buy some 35 Whelen ammo after the airline has lost yours.

I had a beautiful red pad 77 35 Whelen. Nice gun, accurate but not quite a 9.3x62.

So if you want one get one but don't try and blow smoke that it is equal to a 9.3x62.

One gun for anything anywhere ? The 375 Weatherby ..... read the new Rifle magazine.
