I have owned rifles in 358 Win, 9.3X57 & 9.3X62. I just passed on the Whelen. There is very little between the 358 Win & the Hasquvarna 9.3X57. The 358 has the advantage of being available in the Browning Mod 81 BLR & Winchester Mod 88 & I have owned both. I also built up a Mod 70 short action 358 & still regret selling it.

The 9.3X62 is in a different class & particularly so with the 320gr Woodleigh or the new 325 gr Norma. That would put the cartridge close to the 375 H&H level of effectiveness out to 100 yards. I do not see the 35 Whelen operating at that level even with heavy bullets.

For game up to Moose & Elk any of the 4 calibers will do the job out to 200 meters or so all the time. When you look at larger / dangerous game I would only consider the 9.3X62 among the lot. That is my personal subjective view.

Always shoot through the target & not just at it.
