Why bother with a 35 Whelen when you could just get a 9.3x62 and have a better round? Considering the 9.3 has been around since 1905 there really isn't any reason for the 35 Whelen to have existed. Hell you can even make functioning 9.3 brass out of 30-06 brass but they will be a few thousands short.

You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!
