There has be a serious amount of discussion on this page concerning 35 caliber rifles .
I know Bryce Towsley is an advocate and even was developing a 35 wildcat years ago .
Does he frequent the campfire ?

Maine_Rifle,
I purchased a nice Remington Model 660 in .350 Remington Magnum last year. I've been handloading 180-grain .357 Magnum jacketed bullets over 3031 powder. The loads are light to moderate and fun to shoot at paper.
I fired some Remington factory 200-grain loads a few months ago and shortly after the Japanese earthquake hit. A coincidence - maybe. They get your attention in the little carbine!
I just received a message from Midway USA today that my backordered .350 Magnum brass was in stock, so I ordered 200 cases.

I've got some respect for my Whelen, and my 358-WSM.

358, wasn't Bryce on here with load data for the 358 WSM not too long ago? I have a hard copy of that, it's what I used to get my good-shooting load, 225 Partition at 2,950.

I "had" a BLR in 358 Win it was a great shooter but make the mistake of selling it and buying a new stainless blr in .358 which I never warmed up to so it went down the road.
Currently shooting Tikka T3 in 35 Whelen that started out as a .270 win before the rebore, it is a great shooting gun and I will not make the mistake of selling this one!

I don't have the specs but all it is, is a .325 (or .300) WSM necked up. Redding makes the dies.

Ruger 77 in 35 Whelen. Swapped a Rem 760 in 35 Rem for it. Now wish I had just bought the Whelen so I would still have the 35 Rem too. Slow on the learning curve?????? Could be, could be lol.

What's not to love. I have a 700 Classic in 35 Whelen and a Winchester 94 on 356 Win.

My 700 Classic is the only rifle I have not needed to glass bed. It shoots just fine the way it is. It seems to prefer the 225 gr bullets.

I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!
There is only one kind of dead, but there are many different kinds of wounded.

Yup, that's what 358WSM did, and what I did. .325 brass necks up easy, with one pass.
