I rebarreled a new Sav 111 Lam from .30-06 to .338-06 back in the day. It is still a great shooter. If I had the option of the .338 Fed or the .325 WSM back then, I probably would have went with one of them in a short action. I do not feel that it is comparable to the 9.3x62. I usually never disagree with HawkI, but I do believe that the 9.3x62 is a stronger cartridge than the .35 Whelen. I don't have either, but the 9.3x62 has a very strong track record in Africa. I have always wanted it in the CZ 550 full stock. Good luck.
