I'm going to get my 35 whelen out of the safe this year, and hopefully hunt some elk with it this year! So what bullet is the best these days for the whelen to tip over an elk?
Thanks

I would look at either the 225gr AB or the 225gr Partition. You can never go wrong with a Nosler Partition. Though not the fastest load but I can easily push a 225gr PT 2780fps out of the 24" barrel of my 35 Whelen/AI and it is devastating on game.
I was going to shoot the 225 AB in my whelen, but having a heck time finding any!

Gap...............I will also be using the Whelen this year for an elk hunt. Haven't loaded for it in more than 30 years. Nice thing about the cartridge and modest velocity, I had good luck with inexpensive cup and core bullets. But trying to learn what is new in .358 bullets. I am ordering some 225 and 250 grainers from Hawk Precision. I will post how they shoot..................Flatwater Bill
