Thanks for the range report. Looks like a great gun.

That is a sweet rifle and that accuracy is very good for factory ammo.

Absolutely awesome shooting sqweeler, especially with no sights.

Looks great. Shoots great.

What scope did you put on her?

I like it. Great woods rifle.

Nice looking set up there.

Seems plenty good to me. Nice job.

That's a beautiful piece of wood, but the 35 Remington should only be allowed in pumps and lever actions. Only a barbarian would chamber a bolt in 35 Remington.

I'd be curious about accuracy with Hornady ammo. I was sighting a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem for a coworker a few years ago, and using Hornady ammo it shot pretty amazing 3 shot groups at 100 yards. IIRC, it was around an inch.

Regardless, your rifle is sweet and has me once again considering a bolt action in 35.

So, I am playing catch-up here. Before your rifle was a .35 Rem...what was the original cartridge as purchased? Was it something from the the .473" family of rim diameters? I ask because I am curious whether the smaller rim .460" caused any problems in functioning.

I'm curious as well, but I've read accounts that the 35 Rem works fine with Remington .473" bolt faces.

MKV11 custom rifle https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/15883469/1/got-the-e-r-shaw-today

Shot some loads today at 50yds.It's a start. [Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]

ER Shaw uses a .460 bolt face for the 35 Rem

You should be able to load it up a bit hotter than data listed for a lever gun since you are shooting it out of a bolt gun !

Hip

Nice to see! I'm waiting on a barrel from ER Shaw...

Me too. My old Ruger M77 Tang Safe arrived at the Shaw facility today.

Figured they were good loads to start with.

Nice rifle! The old 35 is nothing to sneeze at within a couple of football fields. I've been searching high and low for some of those Speer 180's as my stash for my 14" Contender is getting low.... Not many out there.
