I've hunted a fair bit with 3 different .35 Whelen's. Hunting our local Canadian game bigger than deer. Using mostly 250 grain bullets at 2500 fps, I bagged a couple dozen Elk, Moose, Caribou and bears. And for a few years more recently I'd done the same with a couple of 9.3's. 9.3x62 and 9.3x74R. Using 286 gr. bullets at 2400 fps. I like the 9.3 rifles slightly better. But there is actually not much difference. I used the 9.3x62 on my last African hunt, and it did a superb job. My PH also used one. I don't think the .35 has any real presence in Africa or Europe or anywhere else actually except the USA. One of the considerations when traveling is availability of ammo. The 9.3's are certainly better in that respect.
