My favorite cartridge, I own three .35 Whelens. With handloads it is awesome, my favorite load pushes a 250 grain Nosler Partition at 2550 FPS out of a 22" barrel. It STOMPS any animal that gets in its way. I shot lengthways through a 7 foot grizzly with this load. Bullet entered near shoulder and exited opposite hind quarter. This cartridge will reach out better than most give it credit for also, it is not just a short range thumper.
