Thinking of sending a WSM short action to Pac Nor and having them screw on a 350 WSM. Got to looking for dies first and can't find any. Any idea where I could locate a set.

Look into a 358 Sambar. I think it's the name of the 350 WSM. Bryce Towsley may have gotten to it 1st.
Please God, give me some good tags this year....

Bryce Towsley, isn't he the guy who thinks you need a .300 RUM for whitetail does? I seem to recall him mentioning that in an article in the American Rifleman...... I think it was the last time I read anything by him, come to think of it. It was good for a laugh.

when I had mine made, Redding had dies in stock. they call them 35/300 WSM dies and have part # 80705 on them. they were expensive, though.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

I think it was the last time I read anything by him, come to think of it. It was good for a laugh. I think he conjured up the .358 UMT (Ultra Mag Towsley). I don't know if he built anything on the WSM case or not.
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

Well this is interesting,I e-mailed Redding asking about the 35-300WSM,35 Sambar and the 350WSM. The response was we do not make this and but could if I supplied reamer drawings. I'm not sure if I will still go this way, just picked up a donor 7 rem mag. Might just make up a 375 Ruger now.

click Redding catalog PDF and scroll to page 18 (the PDF calls it page 20, but the page is labeled 18 on the bottom. I assume this is because the cover pages are assigned a number) but if you do decide to make one, a Winchester or Kimber WSM will give you ~3.1" mag length. I had my M70 re-bored and a new throat/neck cut. ![[Linked Image]](http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp78/1sikpupi/b5563979-87a3-4d4f-9f6f-e5ee7028cee9_zps0a486ff1.jpg)

I was wrong, other guy was right....UMT. But I do still think it's more commonly called the 358 Sambar for the WSM case. Don't know who lit the fuse first though

I think BT has a strange sense of humor. I stopped reading him when he repeated the crap about a .358 winchester being a brush range caliber only. So I guess when you expand the 308 case you automatically ruin the long range accuracy, or the power???????
