I've got both and love em. Killed deer and bear with both.
35 Whelen is a heck of a round. Both have the old timey cool factor and can be loaded up and down.
If you want to play with casts, the Govt is the way to go, but the Whelen is one of my favorites. Mine has shot great with all loads. Poor mans magnum. It and the 338-06 are sleepers that don't get the respect they should.
Buy both.
