A friend has a 358 Norma, which he was given as a retirement gift. He lives in a “shack - ha ha” in the mountains of New Mexico and loves elk meat. He doesn’t reload and if I had dies I’d reload for him.
I suppose I should get those dies from you border doc.
I have a tanger 77 7 mm RM, that I’d use as a donor, unless I can move it at gun shows this spring, then I’d likely go with a 700 action.
The things with the 35 Newton are:
nostalgia is a big plus for me,
difficulty in getting reloading dies a minus,
I’m not sure if that 77 would feed the Newton and I’m sure it would with the Norma - are 77 tangers a true controlled feed?
Finally the 358 Norma is a fairly old cartridge too. I like old cartridges.
