Since 35 rem brass is so hard to come by I have acquired some Hornady LE ammo. Can someone please tell me if I can load other bullets than the Hornady FTX??? Can u load 200 gr sp? I understand the brass is shorter.... Also I have read that Hornady dies can fix this issues with the crimping

It shouldn't hurt anything to shoot brass that's a little short. Are you sure the 35 rem brass from the LE stuff is short? If it is, you can just use it at whatever length it is when you reload, crimping the shorter neck mouth into the cannelure on the bullet. Your rounds will be a tad shorter than std when using other bullets in your reload, but that won't last forever. Each time you shoot and resize, your cases will grow.
