item of note... on ANY .358 caliber, pay particular attention to teh Ballistic coefficients of the rounds selected. in many cases (the 200-225-250gr Partitions are one), the heavier bullets will cut a flatter and more powerful trajectory due simply to BC. the .358s seem to have THE greatest differences in BC of any caliber out there (or close).

I, for one, wouldn't use anything smaller than a 250 in a whelen unless I was punching paper and they were cheap. now, I don't have ALL the ballistics data, but for the Swifts, Noslers, and a few others, the heavier bullets are worth the nominal drop in MV. I've yet to find a really great 200/225 hunting round with a decent BC.

just my observations.

...this from a guy who doesn't even HAVE his 35 yet!
