Re: Why has the 35 Whelen never caught on?

Surprise!!

Load the 35 Whelen with a 280 gr Swift Aframe to 2300-2350 and you have a real killing machine if you do your part.

Great caliber!! Super bear caliber!

Too bad the 35 calibers are orphans here in the states.Standard size action, light weight,easy to reload--I like em!! I am rebarreling a custom mannlicker to a 35 Whelen!!

Basically it is a downsized smaller brother of the 375 H&H without the long action, increased weight and handling issues of the bigger cartridge.Is it a 375? Nope--but is it lethal enough for NA game?? Absolutely!!

So what's not to like??
