My 338.06, 7x57, 8x57 and .458WM all Mauser actions all have been adapted to close on a round dropped in the chamber. They all still function perfectly as CF so this is easily remedied in my opinion. I don't mean to sound smart or offend, just saying.
I've never had a problem with a standard round not being chambered properly with slam feeding in my Mausers Even my 9.3x57 and 6.5x44 Swedes on 96's work perfectly that way- slam feeding - just a bit of a polish on the extractor is all that was needed. I've never heard of shoving a Whelen's shoulder forward creating excessive headspace - I do not think it is possible to do that when chambering. It is quite possible with a .400 Whelen - I'd expect, but not a .35. imho
