Hi there, just wondering what powders you are using to load in the 35 Remington. I haven't loaded any for mine yet, just ordered the dies for it today, so any info would be great.

I have a can of Win748 that is just collecting dust, I was thinking/hoping that it might work all right for the 35rem. I bought the 748 to try in my BLR 358win but my rifle doesn't like it, I've tried different bullets and recipes but no luck,.. IMR3031 works best.

The rifle is a 336,.. The bullets will be 200gr RN

Thanks
 
Tagged for Interest, ive not loaded yet for 35rem but have my model 81 cleaned up and ready to go. Managed to find some 350+ pcs of the 150gr pills from days past that I want to see if I can make work. I was going to try with h4895 but am struggling to get creditable data on the 150's.
 
hogdgon lever-evolution is the powder of choice, followed by H4895. Hodgdon's website has a good amount of data for the 200 grain bullets, the 150's are a so-so bullet in my mind, they are short in the driving band, the round nose bullets are by all accounts far more accurate.

I had/have had a love affair with the 35 Rem since my first model 336, concreted with the first dozen deer that fell to it in thick west coast cover, all those days sitting atop of a moss covered rock outcrop dreaming of a perfect short stainless bolt action carbine....had to have one, but no one ever made one.....so I put one together on a stainless savage action.....love at first firing.....

hard cast bullets can be driven at factory velocity with no leading, gas checked bullets run nice right around 2000 FPS, that 5 shot group was cast bullets at 100 yards

RE#7 and IMR 3031 were the two "best" powders in Ken Waters Pet loads book? If you have 150gr bullets just use the 158gr data posted for pistol bullets in the .35 Rem lots available in the older Speer or Hornady manual.
 
Man oh man that is a good looking rifle! Can you provide specifics on what you did/used to put it together yodave?

And, I also love the 336 in 35 Rem, but have yet to take a game animal with it... To the OP, I use the Hornady Lever Evolution factory stuff in my 336, I will reload for it some day but I've very little free time nowadays...

Cheers

Savage model 12 receiver with staggered magazine, shillen prefit 22 inch 35 Rem barrel, Boyds Prairie hunter in woodland camo and a PTG PPC boltface, the feed lips on the mag need to be massaged in a little as the 35 case is slightly smaller in diameter then the 308 case, it didn't take much and it feeds like a dream, it's such a pleasure to shoot both cast and jacketed reduced and full power loads out of......oh...and she's ###y as heck
