Thanks for that. I've never owned a Model 700 chambered in 350 RM, but it makes sense that the mag boxes would be the same length. How do action lengths compare then? This is what confused me...

the short action (SA) Model 700 is longer than the Model 7 (or the 600 from which the Model 7 evolved) ... the rear action bridge on the Model 7 (600) is shorter than the Model 700 which is the principle reason the Model 7 action is shorter overall than the Model 700 SA ... you will note that the Model 600 for example only has one scope base screw hole pre-drilled in the rear bridge vs two in the Model 700's (short or long action)
Difference is about .85"

Decided to put lower rings on my 350 Rem. Mag. rifle, and then got it dialed in again. For hunting I load the Woodleigh 310gr bullet at about 2450 fps MV using Re17, a relatively mild pressure load.
Just for kicks I thought I would see how fast I could drive 200gr TSX bullets using Re17. Starting load is a few grains more than what I use for the 310's, and worked up to near maximum case capacity. I got about 2860 fps MV and pressure is below maximum. I could put in a couple more grains and would likely get about 3000 fps MV, or try a bit faster burn rate powder for more speed at safe pressure levels.
Rather impressive. About equal to or faster than a 300 Win. Mag.

Sounds about right. Hornady claims 2910 fps for their 200 grain pill out of the 35 Whelen using their superformance load.

A rather bold statement -
"Superformance ammunition is 100 to 200 fps FASTER than any conventional ammunition on the market today, and achieves this performance in EVERY gun, WITHOUT increases in felt recoil, muzzle blast, temperature sensitivity, fouling or loss of accuracy."

Had a Remington 600 with a vent rib in 350 rem mag that I sold after I downsized my arsenal and quit reloading after moving from a detached house into a city condo.

It is definitely a bold statement, but I n the case of the Whelen 200gr ammo, the published 2910fps has been met in my 22" barrel.
