35rem with .358win dies?

[Mount Sweetness]

Is it possible to neck size 35rem brass in a 358win/356win die? (Redding)
How about bullet seating, anyway a 358win die can seat a bullet in a 35rem Case?

Possible or impossible?

I have not tried this out, but I would think it is not possible, because the 358 case (and hence the die) is longer. Therefore, the die will bottom out against the shell holder before the neck of the 35 Rem case is fully resized.

The difference in length is some .030" [to the shoulder.]
This means you would not quite size the whole neck of your 35
Remington case. However, it might work well enough to hold
the bullet securely. It might be in your interest to make up a
dummy round and see. The seating is not an issue, just adjust
your seating stem to the length you need. Dave.

I think it would be important to use the 35 Rem shell holder so the brass is somewhat centred in the die.

Yes it is possible without too much trouble but at some point, unless you are making up a few rounds just to try out in something, you will eventually have to full length resize your brass at which time you will want to make sure you have a proper 35 Rem shellholder as pointed out above by Neilm.
