How about the .350 Rigby Magnum?

.358 Norma mag or 358 STA are both a step up ^^^^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^^^^^ memtb

I'm very happy with my 358 Norma. It is a 700 that was a 35 Whelen. IMR 4320 (discontinued) and the Hornady 250 Spire shoot .75MOA using a 4X Nikon.
If you don't need the distance 375 Win, 375 JDJ and 405 Win would work too.

I'd go with a 358 RUM, ADG makes 375 RUM & 338 Edge brass that would be a simple, one pass neck down/up & go, they also make 300 RUM & so do the Peterson crew along with others, simple neck ups aren't difficult and can be done with regular dies and expander balls in several sizes/steps
This way you have all of the 358's on the power scale, max load and none of the others can catch up, then you can download to match the lesser 358's with ease, which also opens up a big doorway for multiple burning rate powders you can use
for loading ammo, just use Redding 375 RUM fl sizer & bushing dies with the correct bushings

The people who make the rules usually don’t know what they’re talking about.

Captain John would you happen to have the reamer for the 358wsm? I have a 358 short wsm I'd like to make into a 35 wsm. I agree with the surprise I shoot the 200 ttsx in a 350 magnum xp-100 repeater and it's killed everything very effectively. Deer to bison .

Talon2 - no we rented the reamer if I remember right, I can check with the smith that did it he is on the board here ie Chris williams (ctw) - I have shot less then 30 rounds thru the rifle we put together but I am getting a safe overcrowding issue so I might free up some space. Really liked the 200 TTSX Barnes, we did like 5 different charges of powder and more we added the better it got, finally it was we have a winner here. the only real complaint and not really a complaint I have with the rifle is the wood turned out so nice it is really too nice to drag around in the woods, I didn't know what i had really for stock or paid much attention until it was being finished by another member here Jay Ward. If i keep the rifle I was looking for affordable synthetic stock for hunting furniture, belly crawling or wading in the prickly bushes is not easy on stocks.

Just for reference, here is what the Iowa site says: RIFLES: Rifles firing straight wall or other cen-
terfire ammunition propelling an expanding-type
bullet with a maximum diameter of no less than
.350 of an inch and no larger than .500 of an inch
and with a published or calculated muzzle energy
of 500 foot pounds or higher is legal for hunting
deer during the youth and disabled hunting season
and first and second shotgun seasons.
The following is a partial list of allowable cartridg-
es that has generated the most questions on legal-
ity. Cartridges meeting the criteria defined above
are legal whether listed here or not.
.35 Whelen
.350 Legend
.358 Winchester
.375 Winchester
.40 S&W
.44 Magnum
.444 Marlin
.45 Long Colt
.45 Raptor
.450 Bushmaster
