Default 35 whelan

I was enquiring about a 35 whelan when the shore owner said " that don't have enough power for moose. It would be alright for shooting gophers" . I thought he might be confusing it for the 35 Remington which is still a capable cartridge. I gave him the benefit of a doubt and asked if he could open a box of 35 whelan ammo. He did and I said you know this is a 30-06 knecked up right? He said yeah but it's so heavy you wouldn't be able to shoot past 100 yards. I still think he had them mixed up and wouldn't back down...
