35 Rem Question

[Selair_Chapman]

Howdy all,
I'm just getting into reloading for 35Rem but am having a heck of a time finding projectiles. Takes a 200gr or thereabouts .358
Lots of cheap .357 out there but all meant for pistol loads. I'm afraid this big game load would destroy the smaller softer .357s. Anyone know where a guy could find the right projectiles?
Cheers!

I bought 6 or 700 projectiles from nine35.ca. Not sure if he still sells projectiles because there isn't any on his website anymore but might be worth contacting him.

 

[Selair_Chapman]

Thanks! Just sent him an email. Fingers crossed.

Hornsby makes a 200 gr round nose in.358
And Speer makes a 220 gr flat point that worked really well in my old Marlin 336

Lots of people shoot .357 bullets for varmints in a .35 Rem

Speer also makes a 180 gr Hot Cor bullet that may be more like what you are looking for.
X-Reload has them (where I got mine on-line).
Sorry, haven't loaded any yet. So can't say what load to try or how they work on bears or deer.
But I have been using their 220 gr bullet for years in my BLR 358 Win and it has worked great on moose, elk and bears.

Leverolution
I have only used the leverolution. Powder though

Thanks Freddyfour! He had a bunch of options available at good prices. I ordered 400 of his 3515 HORNADY 200 GR RN INTERLOCK at $45 per 100
Cheers!

Good to know he still has them and your welcome. I may have to order more as well soon.

I use the 3515 HORNADY 200 GR RN INTERLOCK myself. Cleaned the shelf @ 30% off when Wholesale shut down. Buy em when you find em.

If like to see some FTX's around here. Of the three bullets I shoot out of my Marlin the FTX is the most accurate.

Those "projectiles" have a technical name that we re-loaders use.

We call them "bullets".

I use 158 gr pistol bullets for plinker practice.

Also used 200 gr RN and the Speer 220 FP.

 

[Why not?]

I always found the 220 Speer to be very accurate in my marlin 35 Rem rifles.

And, it is death on wheels on moose and bear.

Amazing how that seems to happen when a bullet is specifically designed for a particular cartridge.
