225 grain seem to be the best all around for the Whelen.

If you just want a hard hitting 150 yards or less deer gun, I liked the 444 Marlin better. If you regularly take shots much farther than that, you'd be better served by a flatter shooting round than the 35 Whelen IMO.

Get you a h&r ultra slug hunter and shoot the hornady sst slugs. Does everything you want very well.

That gun, sighted in correctly with the 180 grain bullet, is only 8" low at 300 yards. It will do it all.

180-200 are ideal for whitetails but what I know about the Whelen is the caliber typically likes the 225's the best.

For our deer, any bullet will work wonders on them.

That h&r is a whole different beast. It'll shoot a same hole group at a 100 and only drop 6 inches at 200
