If you mean that it’s a great game killer you are spot-on, However, there are a lot of misconceptions about the Whelen. It’s just a necked up 30-06. As such, it has no more powder capacity or power.

The only reason to use it over any of the other you mentioned is the fact that in louisiana and Mississippi a 35 cal bullet or larger in a single shot breech loading gun is considered “ primitive”

Understood.

I have heard so much BS about how bad it kicks and shoots scopes apart etc that I just wanted to clarify what it really is. As such, it’s a helluva round and very versatile
