RE: 35 Caliber Rounds
ORIGINAL: 8mm/06
The 350 Remington outclasses the 35 Whelen but only a little. So I'd go with the 35 whelen only b/c it is based on the 30/06 case and ammo will be easier to find loaded, and cheaper to load. I would suggest that even thought you don't currently reload you look into it. It is not that big an investment, and although it's not a HUGE savings, it is a savings. And you have the satisfaction of cooking your own home-brewed loads.

RE: 35 Caliber Rounds
I was referring to easily obtainable factory loadings by Remington, both with 200 gr pills. Handloading they come out close with an advantage to the 35 Whelen.
And in myloading manuals the nod does goto the 35 Whelen. But the difference is slight, and only appreciated by handloaders. That's why I recommended the 35 Whelen even though I said the 350 outclasses it. I should have been clearer that i was referring to facrtory stuff.
My point was that the 35 Whelen is the way to go if you wanted to appreciate the difference in handloading and what advantage it'll give you.... easier to obtain and cheaper brass, and slightly better performance to boot, but only if you plan on handloading.
But in the Remington factory offerings the 350 has slightly higher velocities.

For ammo:
35rem -Hornady, Buffalo Bore, Remington,Wichester,andFederal.
358 Win- Winchester, andConley Precission.
35 Whelen -Rem, Nosler, Federal.
For the hornady 35rem 200gr at 2240fps deer out to 200yards and elk/moose/black bears out to 125 yards all day any day.The BB 220gr at 2200fps is my choice for Bear/Elk/Moose out to125yards its what the 358win loaded with the same bullet dose at 200 yards.
I load and use the 35 whelen, 358win, and 35rem and simply put the whelen is good for 300yards as the 358win is at 250 yards and the 35 rem is at 125 yardsand thats for elk/moose/bear and if it is only deer the rem will go 200yards with the Hornady LE AMMO. If you are looking for a great deer gun the 35 whelen with rem 200gr CL AMMO is a 300 yard hammer, sledge hammer that is!
I load the the 358win with 225 partitions @ 2430fps and 200 spire points to 2490fps. The 35rem gets the 200gr CoreLokts @ 2200fps.

RE: 35 Caliber Rounds
If you need a good place to find factory ammo, www.midwayusa.com has a very good selection for the .35 Whelen.
