Toad, How much do you gain with the wsm version over the rem mag?

WSM should be close to a 358 Norma, so either additional 200 fps, or 25 gr more bullet at the same speed.
I'd planned on re-chambering my 350 rem mag Ruger, but really didn't want the added recoil as I figure a 225 tsx @ ~2700 fps will provide all the killing and range I need from a 350 rem mag.

yes, 458 Lott is right on. I am getting ~3000 fps from 200 gr. TSXs. my 350 WSM has a 22" barrel and is based on the slightly longer 7mm WSM instead of the .300/.325 WSM (it was a rebore of a 7mm WSM M70). this also gives me about 3" of magazine length. the picture shows bullets seated to fit the magazines of the M70 vs. M7 rifles.
Redding had dies in stock when I called.

I have two 350's in a model 7 and model 700. I don't have mag issues and shoot the 200 TTSX no problem.
I have seated and shot the NP 250 and the Swift 280 grain with no problems either.

I'm beginning the search for a 350 Remington Magnum. Based on your experiences, which one of the many Remington versions, or ruger versions is the best to look for? Based on my research, the Rugers have a longer mag box, albeit slightly, that allows use of the heavier bullets, if desired. I'm not a huge fan of the vent rib Remington models, but at the right price, I guess I could live with one. Best case scenario, I find a decent priced KS custom shop model 7. How hard are those to come by, without selling a kidney? Any advice would be greatly appreciated before I drop the cash! I have one of the 700 Classics that I put a cheapy SPS stock on it as I was planning on taking it back to Alaska this fall but plans fell through. I'd be willing to sell it if you're interested.

There's a Ruger Mark II blue/walnut for sale in Georgia. I owned it before selling it to this guy. I sold it because I'm wanting a .358 Win in same rifle. It is listed on the Outdoor Trader under Georgia firearms section. $550. It is very accurate! http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/fs-ruger-m77-m2-350-rem-mag.1013223/

Mine is a Ruger with a Rhino Cam McMillian. The magazine box is 2.9 so you can load a little longer. I load 200 TTSX to 2.88 COL. Still don't know if that is long enough for the 200 Accubond. Nosler says the ogive won't work in a 350 Rem Mag box.

This is an MRC action in .350 RM from their initial run. Douglas barrel, McSwirly chambered, and assembled by Mickey Coleman. It's a nice shooter. Not intended to be lightweight at all, but with full power 250 grain Partitions, that helps felt recoil a bit. I like the longer OAL with these actions too. 3.1"ish.

I have a couple 350s. For all round use the Ruger is the way to go. The extra mag length has obvious advantages with heavies but also found it a great advantage with Barnes 180 TTSXs.
The barnes would need to be seated below the ogive to bring them under 2.800 in turn the bullet would not hold in the case. Could cut the necks down and be ok but would eat up as much powder space as a 225. Loaded out to 2.89 over TAC and I am pushing just over 3000 FPS. Hell of a whitetail combo and shoots within fractions of an inch as flat as 140 grain 7mm08 out to 350 yards.
Only issue I had was feeding. Ruger took care of it all on their dime. Now the slickest feeding rifle I own.
Other rifle I have is a Rem 7 mannlicher from the custom shop. Very nice handy rifle. Shoots barnes 200 grain TSX around 2700 FPS. Got it setup with a low power scope. Close range thumper that will get the job done out to 250 yards or so. But more intended for under 150 work.
Of the two I would keep the Ruger if I had to choose. Will run anything you could ever want to in a 350. Much more accurate with a wider range of loads than the remington.Being the all weather version it will handle way harder use or abuse. Also a little more confident in Ruger when it comes to customer service should it ever be needed.

Curious what your COAL is when loading for the mod 7? I can't fathom how the mouth is not on the ogive for the 200 TTSX. Do you have any pics of loaded rounds for the 200 TTSX, NP 250 and the 280 Swift? I can't load past 2.80". That said, I have used the 225 Woodleighs because of the RNSP geometry.

So many options! I'm working on getting in touch with the guy in GA about the ruger, and may have a line on a custom build up here in my neck of the woods.

There were two Remington Model 7, Mannlicher stocked 350's on Gunbroker this afternoon. One was a bit steep, the other a little better.
I have two 350's, one a 700 Classic, the other a Custom Shop model but I don't have a Mannlicherr stocked version. I DO have a 222 Rem, Mannlicher version and the first 3 shot group I shot with factory loads was about 1/3". It may not be the most accurate rifle I own but it's right up there, especially with handloads.

If you want some factory stuff to start Midway has the nosler custom 225 partition ammo in stock. Pretty good. Good choice on the rifle too. My 700 classic is a very nice rifle.

I've had two .350's, a Remington 700 Classic and Ruger 77 Mark II blued-and-walnut. Just like other people have mentioned, the Ruger's feeding sucked, and it took an afternoon of my time to make it work right. Even then it didn't feed nearly as smoothly as the 700. Cen't recall if the Ruger magazine was enough longer to make any difference.
