Re: Why has the 35 Whelen never caught on?

The 35s make "grouse loads" easy because of the wide variety of commercial bullets, and this and some African regulations may be the only real issues when choosing among the 33-38s.
To me this is one of the great features of the .35 Whelen, and the one that keeps tempting me to get one.
The huge number of .358 bullets available means farm chores, trapping, varminting and grousing are all easily done with the same rifle used for deer, elk and bear. My 9.3's do all that, too, but with a wee bit more effort to assemble loads.
