Have had and loved the 35 Whelen, 350 Rem Mag, 35 Rem, and now only have the 358 Win left. If you love something, set it free?

I have a .358 Win., a .350 Rem. mag., a Whelen and a .358 Norma. You know what they say, don�t you? The .35 caliber was designed for hunting rifles and all of the rest of the calibers were made for guns. CP.

Or a 358 Ruger...
When they make it
I'm collecting parts for a 358 Nukalpiaq (375 Ruger to 358.) If damn gasoline didn't cost so much, I'd be further along.

After thinking about this for a bit, I've had a few 35's - 350 RM in a 15" Encore pistol, 35 Whelen built on a VZ 24, 35 Rem in a Contender pistol. I dig the 35's.
I'd like to get another 35 Whelen or possibly a 9.3x62 in a SS config.
Surprisingly, the 35 Rem in Contender makes a handy thumper. Hoping to test it on a deery creature this fall. Have some Speer 220's flying well in case I run into some gigantasaurus deer.

.358 Win and Whelen in the stable. Had a Norma but sold it....my mistake. In need of a .35 Rem.... I like the .35's, every one I've had has been easy to please...they all shot great.

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 ? Yes Bryce is an active member on here. I was talking to him on here about the .358 Win and the 35 Whelen just two weeks ago. He's a great guy and very knowledgable and helpful.

35 Rem and a 358 Win in the safe. Really like them both.

In southern Europe, mostly in France and Greece but also Spain and Potugal the 35 caliber is appreciated by driven hunt hunters. Mostly 35Whelen Remmys. For year Remington made the 7400 and 7600 in 35 Whelen for our market. At that time it was no more a proposition on their US regular catalog. Hi own a 7600 carbine, one H&R single shot in 35 Whelen and a Winch94 big bore AE in 356 The H&R is used when leading dogs after wild boar, heavy but safe, tough and poxerful with 250 grs corelokt...Aimpoint is good from 0m to longer distances.

Currently:
A 7600 carbine: .35 Remington A 7600: 35 Whelen A Savage 99 (rebore: .358 Winchester
My jury is still out on the 99 staying in the stable. I'm trying to find a reason to keep it around but always seem to reach for a pump or bolt action.

If I want to do something that the 358 can't I'll pull out the 280. All are great rounds, I have hunted and killed with them all but money for more projects had to come from somewhere.

Pointback, I have an original .375 Ruger necked to .358.... It's called a .35 Newton. Mine was made in 1916....

What's a 225 clock in one of those?

What's a 225 clock in one of those? I haven't fired it as yet... I just finally got a set of dies... (Dang hard to find...) All reloading data that I can find printed on it, indicates that ballistics are almost a virtual twin to the .358 Norma... So close that I believe one can use .358 Norma starting loads and work up from there... I seriously doubt that I will push the envelope, however... As I am dealing with a rifle manufactured of near 100 yr old steel... I'm thinking 150-200 f.p.s. above the .35 Whelen should be easily accomplished... And in reality, Whelen + 100 f.p.s. should easily take any game here in N.A. And if I need more, I still have a .375 H&H and a .416 Rem. Mag. Thus, I think a bit of conservatism is in order...

Just acquired a Super-16 barrel for my T/C contenda. It will do some deer killing this fall. It shoots the Speer 180 FPs rather nicely with 4895.

Mine likes H322 under the 180 and H4895 under the 220. Kill anything yet with the 35 and either bullet?

I have two 35 caliber rifles. One is a Remington Model 141 chambered for 35 Remington. It is an interesting and well made old rifle that I enjoy shooting. The other is a Remington Model 700 CDL chambered for 35 Whelen. It is my second Whelen and I have much respect for that fine old hunting round.

I have a 700 Classic (much used), a 7600, and a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem. I used to have a Rossi 357, traded away for other good stuff. I am currently recovering from a no-tags-this-year induced bout of "sell it all and use the 270"-itis. One day at a time. Love them all.
