Billy, just a guess, but the European sorta equivalent of the 35 Whelan might be the 9.3x62.
That cartridge is the same case length as a 30-06, and a bore diameter a hair larger than 35: about .366. The 9.3x62 was originally designed to be chambered in Mauser rifles back in the day when many European countries had colonies in Africa. A big enough caliber to handle African game, in a much more reasonably priced bolt action, as compared to double rifles. Nosler (and maybe others) makes bullets for it in the US, and I'm sure it's more common in Europe.
