I’ve been loading and shooting the Whelen for 23 years now. It’s an awesome cartridge. I’ve shot a lot of deer with it and it has never failed to impress, even out to 300 yards. However, I’m soon to rebarrel to a 25-06 as I’m past my enjoying recoil days. I have a 243 and a lightweight 30-06. The Whelen has stayed home now for 3 years.
