It seems that getting 35 Remington brass and ammo is harder than 22 LR. I've read where if I buy almost $1,000 worth of RCBS dies I can reform from 308. Is there a foreign caliber (perhaps military) that would be easier (cheaper) to reform?
For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths.

A WTB in the Classifieds should produce some brass, I would think.

Thanks. I read about using the Lee collet sizer. I'll give that a try. I think an Arbor press should be on my bench at any rate. Mean while I've bought some brass at over a $1 each on Gunbroker. I also got some loaded for over $2 each. But mostly there's people that will pay much more than that and I have not had much luck finding brass or ammo. (I've arbitrarily limited the dollar amount I'd pay for such). I have a bucket full of 308 brass and no 308 -- been using some for 358 win. I like 35's.
The bottom line is I bought a Rem 141 in 35 Rem and it is needing ammo.

There's a few 35 Rem listed on GB right now.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

It can be formed using 30-40 Krag or 303 British brass. Rims must be turned off, new extractor groove cut, and case trimmed to length.
The 303 makes very strong brass that lasts forever, and there is buckets of it up here, of course. Ted

SoDakota,
Shoot me a PM with your address and I'll send you some brass. Maybe someday I can drive out and we can shoot a couple pheasants.
Our God reigns. Harrumph!!! I often use quick reply. My posts are not directed toward any specific person unless I mention them by name.
