Here is a scenario :

A very large animal has presented a shot opportunity at 175 yds.
Due to it's position and location, you determine that the best shot placement would be to take out the shoulder on the off side.

You have two rifles available. One is a 6.5 running a 140 gr. bullet.
The other is a .35 Whelen using a 250 gr bullet of exactly the same construction as the 6.5

Pick your winner.
