I shoot this in a Mauser action rifle. Oldest killed a buck the other day at 200 yards....didn't take a step...as usual. Great deer round as long as you're shooting under 300 yards. I shoot the Remington 200 grain .

Not much different than the .30-06

I have a Thompson Center Pro Hunter 35 Whelen. It drops about 8 inches at 300 yards, so yeah, I like it.

I have the H&R and other than initial sighting in has been dead on accurate.

The .35 is going to have more "snappy" recoil. It's a high velocity cartridge where the .444 is a rainbow round.

I also have the Whelen in the Elite Stalker.
Powerful round but had issues holding zero due to scope mounts. My scope mount actually cracked and broke off. I don't know if if the screw was ratcheded too tight or just a crappy mount.
Now have a single mount scope and rings and no problems with the mount moving at this time.
Really like the gun, too. Easy to manuever and shoulder in the stand due to the length. Have been looking for a .308 to possibly add to the collection.

quote:The mounts that come with the Elite Stalkers are crap. The rep said that plenty of people have complained about them so it's best to replace it with a better mount from the start.

35 Whelen is a great cartridge. I am currently shooting a load from Double Tap.

I shoot Barnes TTSX 165 out of my 300 wm. I like them a lot. I'm going to load some 180s for the 300 and 200s for the 35. I'm shooting some Hornady's a friend loaded right now. They're pretty good, but I'll be interested to see how the Barnes compare.
