35 Whelen - Best Option for Eland Huntress?

Me and @35bore have a long understanding that I am correct when it comes to the discussion of these two calibres .....;):D:D Beers:........I will now wait
It's all in what you like brother. Lol.

Yes, many discussions on the topic. I still remember one of your first post on this site. About modern firearms in old Africa, or something like that. I still feel the 35whelen would fit good in my hands to take down anything that I needed too on that journey. May not be the best for some, but i believe it would be sufficient. Same could be said about the 9.3 (I guess), point being, if you can do it then do it, if you can't then don't.

I gotta find that old thread, would be a nice revitalized topic.
 
Ya, couldn't find it spike.t, things only go back to 2018 in the archives on your page.. I'd still drink the place empty when I got to the opposite side of the continent. Lol....

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
