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.

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.

These?

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.

yes. mine is the two die set. I called Redding directly and they had them on hand for immediate shipment.

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.

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.

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

Nice rifle you got there. What you shooting in it?

200 gr. TSXs over 67.5 gr H4895 for ~3050 fps

The best of both world, .35-375 Ruger! Or even a .358 Norma.

This may have been done first in Australia, or at least early on, and thus named after their Sambar deer.

I think BT is quite a good and witty scribe and I sense he works hard at his trade.

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???????

Toad, that is a great looking rifle buddy.

What is the scope on top of it? 4X Leupold?
