Re: 35 Whelen vs 9.3x57 ?

Already did - above.
: The only reason the 9.3x57 could be deemed as better than a standard .35 Whelen, is the ease of obtaining heavier bullets - to 320gr. in factory made as well as the drawn 300gr.'ers we're now making. The .358 calibre nowadays is pretty much stopped around 250gr. and while it is a good bullet, I prefer a similar BC in a larger diameter - of course. If 280gr. to 300gr. .358's were still easily available, they'd be pretty much fish in a barrel.
: The 9.3x66 SAKO is a new one, which will give virtually identical performance on game as 9.3x62 handloads.
