Yup, I heard that too.
Funny, my .243 win marked mag runs .35 rem cartridges just fine.
The follower's bump at the front is different, but it runs em no prob.
Good to know. I've heard it, but never put it to the test, thanks.
You don't need a 35 Rem mag to shoot 35 Rem rounds. I didn't have one and they run fine in a short action mag of any flavor.
Tzone is correct. Just for grins I just tried one of the new short action mags with the plastic bottom that I use in my 6.5CM, it worked just fine in my 35Rem.
Perhaps the rumor about using only ones marked "35Rem" got started because someone probably tried one for the long action calibers and it didn't work.The long action mags will fit in the short action caliber rifles BUT the shorter caliber mag has a block at the rear end to shorten its interior mag length. Just a WAG!
