Did you actually hunt and kill game with a .35 Whelen, or just "review" it? I've killed game in Wyoming, Montana, Alaska and Africa with mine, and can't imagine that my 9.3x62 is going to kill anything any deader than the Whelen has. Any paper ballistic distinction is pretty marginal in the field.

My CZ 550 American 9.3x62 is very mild-recoiling. I finally put it on a scale -- just over 10 lbs with 2-7 Leuppie. It's all physics grin.
