HISTORY:  The 35 Whelen has been in use since  1922.  Colonel Townsend Whelen and James Howe experimented with cylindrical cases (cases used to form the 30-06 prior to the final forming stage) to form the wildcat .400 Whelen.   Howe later reduced the neck to .358 diameter and named this cartridge the 35 Whelen.  The firm Griffin and Howe offered rifles since the 20’s and it was not until 1988 that   Remington adopted the cartridge.  The 35 Whelen is a classic cartridge that fills the void between 30 calibers and 375 H&H, being based on the 30-06 offers the advantage of being easy to form, fits in standard length actions and produces moderate recoil.
