I was the one who posted on Boddington and the .35 Whelen earlier. While I do think the old .35 is a cool caliber it is not, nor will it ever be, the equal to the .338 Winchester at 5 yards or 325 yards. Comparing 250 grain bullets @ 2650 fps versus 2350 fps. A sectional density of .313 versus .279. The .338 will out penetrate it everytime. The .338 will out-penetrate the great .375 H&H as well. That is one of the big reasons for the .338 Winchester's success.
