35 Whelen

I have two H&R Whelens, My wife has the light barrel gun, I load 200 grn bullets for her and 250 grn bullets for my heavier barrel model.
The guns shoot well and recoil isn't a problem, think of it as a 30-06 on steroids. I shoot 250 grain bullets with moderate recoil, not much could take a hit from a 35 Whelen.
The caliber seems to be popular with Bear hunters, North Fork makes two copper big game bullets in 358, Barnes does as well.
