Gun Descriptions

.35 Whelen

35 Whelen Ammo Designed in 1922 by Col. Townsend Whelen and James Howe, the 35 Whelen Ammo is a rimless bottlenecked powerful rifle cartridge. Its parent is the .30 - 06 Springfield, and it is necked to accept a bullet diameter of .358 inches. It has its place of origin in the USA. Of all of Colonel Townsend's rifle cartridges designs, the 35 Whelen Ammo is famous and widely used. With a neck diameter of .385 inches and a shoulder diameter of .441 inches, it has a rim diameter of .473 inches and a base diameter of .472 inches. This amounts to an overall length of 3.340 inches (84.8mm). It has a European metric designation of 9 × 63mm. The 35 Whelen Ammo does not drop below a thousand ft-lbs of energy until almost 600yards. Therefore, it is perfect for long hunting ranges. In addition, the correct bullet choice is suitable for virtually all large and dangerous thick-skinned games, such as black or brown bears, grizzly bears, and wild hogs. When released with a bullet mass of 180grams, it moves at a velocity of 2,963 ft/s and with force energy of 4,760 joules. The 35 Whelen Ammo has a mild recoil as well as a mild muzzle blast. If you require ammo using heavy bullets of a reasonably large diameter, and that too, at an excellent velocity, then the 35 Whelen Ammo is the one for the job. In recent times, many of the major gun manufacturers now produce factory-loaded .35 Whelen ammunition.

.358 Winchester

The .358 Winchester was one of the first cartridges created utilizing a modified.308 Winchester case, and it did have certain benefits over its parent cartridge. At the time of its introduction, it received little attention. However, while factory.358 rifles were not mass-produced, it is still common to find custom-built rifles chambered in this caliber. Although factory ammunition for the.358 Winchester is not widely accessible, components for hand loading are easily available. Energy transmission is one component of the.358 that really stands out. A hefty bullet may be chosen without fear of inefficient energy transmission. At impact velocities exceeding 2200 fps, the.358 bore gives the most stunning effects. Previously, the.368 Winchester's popularity was limited by remarks claiming that it was exclusively intended for use on wood ranges. In terms of bullet weights, the.358 Winchester performs best on light to medium game when loaded with 200-225 grain bullets, which achieve a balance of high velocity, a decent trajectory, high trauma, and desirable penetration. The.358 is a remarkable performer at close ranges when loaded with appropriate bullets, and in an accurate rifle, it is a reliable performer out to a maximum range of roughly 300 yards. The.358 is intended for use in bushy to semi-broken terrain, such as river flats and open-faced slopes. The.358 Winchester is an excellent choice for hunters who require a cartridge that can assist them overcome shot placement challenges caused by challenging conditions, or who desire a low recoiling cartridge that can handle light to large sized animals.
