Looks pretty cool.
Between 358 Win and 35 W in capacity?
Or between 35 Rem and 358 Win?
The SFB caught my eye. We have an out-of-bounds couloir at the ski area called SFB - stands for Schitt for Brains!

Haven't done any load workup yet, but anticipating 2600 fps with a 200 grain TSX will be quite easy...

Marty- Clearly, you have too much time on your hands.... Pretty sure I could like what you've got cooking there.

As long as the Indiana DNR doesn't outlaw it, we're gonna be busy building rifles this summer...

2600 fps with a 200 won't be much of a challenge.
Folks seem to gravitate to the 180's. 2750+ isn't a problem with the 180 Hornady SS/SP.

Tom, Dies are in, waiting on the reamer. Got about 5 actions de-barrelled already. Now for the laborious task of annealing about 200 pieces of 25 wssm Sunday...

WSSM case shortened to meet the Indiana criteria for a cartridge that can be used in a rifle for deer hunting:
minimum case length of 1.16" maximum case length of 1.625" minimum bullet diameter of 0.357"
