same bullet diameter way different casings and by no way interchangeable with each other .
I also think the Whelan is a bit faster
Same bullet diameter ,different size brass.
Whelen’s favorite rifle in this caliber--and one he owned until his death in 1961--was a custom job built on the 1903 Springfield action by Howe in 1922. Among other nice things it had a trapdoor steel buttplate and a Howe-Whelen aperture sight on the bolt sleeve. The sight housing also contained a safety.
As other cartridges of the same caliber go, the .35 Remington is 400 to 500 fps slower than the .35 Whelen, and the .358 Norma Magnum is 400 fps faster.
Before you give a - do some research.

remington hasn't made the 760 in a long time they call it the 7600 now and it is no longer chambered in 35 remington . you can go to remington.com there was a section that they listed gun shops and gunsmiths that have parts both new and used to keep old guns no longer in production still working . one of these places may have one .
The King is in the house ......35W
Check with Remington. Some of their magazines will fit and function, even though marked for a different caliber. Brownell's has a Q&A section, you can E-mail a question and they will answer it. They also have obsolete/antique/out of stock parts.
While the Whelen is more popular you can actually get more velocity with the 350 Rem with the lighter bullets (200-225 grain). Both are excellent rounds. The Whelen handles heavy bullets best due to it's longer case. The 350 has a stronger case, can handle slightly heavier pressure and is a short action round. IMO you really can't go wrong with either for big game. I really hammered 2 bears and a bull moose with my 350. Nothing took a step after the shot.
Try searching for "760 .35 Remington magazine" - it is not a clip. All the .30-06 based cases, including the .35 Whelen can use the same magazine. The .35 Remington magazine is unique - hasn't been made for years. Might do a search or post a want on gunbroker.com. Can also try calling Numrich's.
35 Rem is totally different than the Whelan. It has a case the length of a 308 compared to a 30-06. The Rem is a good/great deer cartridge however, in close cover maybe the best, but not on par with the Whelan or 350Rem., not near for bigger game.
The good old 760 Gamemaster was chambered in .35 Rem so you should be able to find magazines for them. The .35 Rem is the lightest of these and I will give you a sample of tyical 200 grain bullet velocities for comparison: 35 Rem 2000 fps; 350 Rem Mag 2600 fps; .35 Whelen 2600 fps. As you can see, the .35 Rem is pretty slow. I shot my first deer with one though and got a few more later; usually in very thick brush conditions. Both of the faser cartridges are excellent elk cartridges. The nice thing about the Whelen is that you can re-size standard 30-06 brass to make them so cases are cheaper.
I'm going to buy a vintage .35 Remington when I run across one at a decent price to add to my .35 caliber collection with my .358 Winchester and .35 Whelen. It is a tad slow, but a hit with a 200 grain soft nose at 1,500 fps wil take a deer down for sure. I think there are a lot of hunters in the NE U.S. that use them for deer rifles.
i went to a friends house and he has a 30-06,Remington 760.i filled his mag with my 35 Remington shells and it functioned flawlessly.i can find these mags easy.so i will just get a few of them.thanks for all the help.
Hmm, that is something I have never tried, but I never needed to. But before you go out and buy a bunch of them might try shooting with your friend's mag first. The .35 Rem cartridges might forward in the magazine due to recoil. Not sure if that will affect anything. I wonder if a short action magazine will work.
