I’ve long desired a rifle chambered for the 35 Newton.
I took the book, “Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges” out of my book-case to review once again the 35 Newton and it dawned on me the case dimensions looked familiar. It seems to me that the Ruger engineers came very close to matching the 35 Newton case when they designed the 375 Ruger while using a case that could be made from other cases, and a bolt face similar to others.
I suppose a 375 Ruger necked to .358 would be more sensible than a 35 Newton. Cases, reloading dies etc. (I could call it my 35 Newton I suppose.)
But I’ve always like older cartridges and maybe a 358 Norma Mag would fit the bill…
