Well I do have a bunch of jacketed pistol bullets and coyotes...To push .359 heavy cast bullets to artillery speeds? To push jacketed .358 bullets into low earth orbit?
Personally, I find the premium bullet options in .358 kind of expensive, but I'm a cheapskate. At least it's cheaper that .375 (but not much)!
Just buy it, the whelen will never let go of you... I finally got one a little while ago as a Savage rebarrel for my old 110 30-06. Resistance is futile, you don't need a reason to want one...For the second time in about a year, I have seen a 35 Whelen single shot at the gun store.
I have wanted one since I was a kid, but have absolutely no reason for it.

If this is a cry for help, you’ve come to the wrong place
If I had a nickel for every time I've been tempted to buy a gun I "have absolutely no reason for," I'd have a lot of nickels. But I've never been all that good at resisting gun temptations. So I don't have a lot of nickels!I have wanted one since I was a kid, but have absolutely no reason for it.

My brother's auto-ordinance scratched that itch."Wanted one since a kid" is good enough reason. If you had the means, wouldn't you get a 1921 Thompson? No one has a need for it but I bet nearly everyone here "wants" one. Myself included.
I was lucky to inherit a large number of guns but I still buy more because I want to.
You dont need a roof when it isn't raining...

I have a wife that says if you want it, get it. It makes it hard to say no to myself.If I had a nickel for every time I've been tempted to buy a gun I "have absolutely no reason for," I'd have a lot of nickels.

Buy the Whelen. You'll never regret it. If I might ask, what brand of single-shot is it?
Wanting it is pretty good reason.
H&R Handi rifles are a pretty good value.
My 223 nef was like that until I shimmed the action. It still hates factory ammo. But eats my reloads just fine..35 cal has a cool factor. I don't own a .35 Whelen, but my 673 in .350 mag is a permanent resident here. I'm perpetually on the lookout for a Model 8 in .35 Rem at a price that doesn't make me choke.
I agree with that, excepting that my experience has shown handloading with only neck sizing is necessary to see good accuracy due to the action. My .22 Hornet could not put down sub-MOA groups with factory loads or full length sized reloads, period. With neck sizing, it does.
So I caved in. It's a new old stock h&r for $265. We are picking up ammo and heading home to shoot it.
