there used to be a wildcat (there once was a wildcat?) that was the .30-30 necked up to .35
Wonder if this is any different?
I think the purpose was to rebore pitted .30-30 barrels, back when labor was a lot cheaper than materials.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

Case looks like a straight wall .30-30. If I wanted a serious .35 it would be a .35 Rem/.358 Win or a .35 Whelen. Meanwhile, back in the swamps, my .38-55 spits a 350 gr chunk of lead just fine.
I am..........disturbed.

Other than a bit smaller bullet, it's not much different than the 375 or 38-55 Winchester. And yes, Rem will probably bungle it. What else is new ?

Straight wall cartridges were obsolete 100 years ago.

That actually sounds really interesting! Slice off .308 brass at the shoulder, and a .429 bullet fits pretty nicely. Rimless, feeds through the same bolt actions that run the .308, and a Savage 110 with the barrel nut can be headspaced in a matter of minutes. I've got chamber reamers and a set of case forming dies a friend had custom made for the round, which shall remain nameless in case he decides to go into production. I've built up a few rifles for him, and they drop deer like the hammer of Thor. Didn't Desart Eagle do something like that at one point? Another interesting one would be the 35 Remington necked up to .429.

Straight wall cartridges were obsolete 100 years ago. That may be, from a technology perspective. But lots of states require a straight wall cartridge in a rifle, by law. Otherwise you are stuck with a shotgun.

Please forget that it's a 150 year old design. Please forget the 30-30 or 35 Rem or a 100 others can out perform it.
It's simply designed for states that require straight wall rifle cartridges under a certain case length to be legal for deer hunting. Otherwise, they have to use slugs or BP.

LOL, yeah way to go Remington, now do what you do best, don't make brass, don't make ammo, don't market it properly, don't work with firearm manufactures, ...
Then proudly display it on the useless shelf along side you 30 Rem AR, which had potential if your head was not up your ass. Like they did with 5MM gun owners decades ago

All I need is a reamer and a set of reloading dies. Have a .357 H&R break action ready to rechamber and at least 100 once fired 30-30 brass that can be annealed and resized. Was thinking of rechambering to .35 Rem but there is no brass or ammo to be found. This round will work for me.

Straight wall cartridges were obsolete 100 years ago. But they are now LEGAL for deer hunting in some states. Prwlr, a regular 30-30 or 35Rem isn't legal in these states, as they are based on bottleneck cases. So, rimmed, straightwall cases should have not been designed after 100 years ago, recent regulation changes have made straightwall cartridges the flavor du jour.
