Barnes bullets in the 35 remington?

That would work - but I'll make it more better for you
I think the 200gr Remington SP_CoreLokt is the better choice - engineered and made specifiically for the 35Rem and it's pedestrian velocity. The same is not true of the Hornady 200RN (hard core is for higher speeds - 2800+ - 3% antimony according to Hornady tech if I recall rightly). That said, I'ved used it myself in my 35Rems too - mainly for targets and as hunting backups if I ever run out of the Rem 200gr SP_CLs.
gpracer - have you considered trying the 200gr Hornady Flex tips in your shooter - pointy and for tube mags too. One day I will - for the simple pleasure of it (nod to CV32) .

Like the .356, the .35 rem does very well with cast flat points including the 250 gr. flat point gas check bullet which is all I use now in my .356 Win. You don't need to break the bank to get the best results with the .35s, like some are want to do.
I mention Hornady as they seem to be easier to find these days than Remington bulk bullets. I used to buy the Rems all the time, but bullet selection from the mail order supliers seems to be getting smaller.

In 35 cal, although in a 358 Norma Mag not 35 Rem, when I purchased the Husqvarna from Ted, I also got a selection of bullets for it. A 'goodie' of note I got with the rifle was a no longer available box of Hornady 275gr RN. And from 240gord I purchased a couple of older boxes of Barnes 250gr Spitzer SP, 0.032" jacket. I don't know how this jacket thickness compares to others but I thought they would give me something else to 'play' with
. I did luck out further in that anticipating of eventually getting a 358NM at a local gun show I picked up seven boxes of Norma factory 250gr loads from lefty 338-06. Enough to keep me busy for a while.Yes that's true - the Rem 200gr SP_CLs are sure harder to find now up here north of de border - and the 200gr Hornady RNs are everywhere.
I'd also consider this Sierra 200 Grain RN Pro-Hunter #2800 a pretty good match to 35Rem velocity if it could be found.
Ben - I bought a NOE ranchdog 190gr mold to try casting (for the fun of it) but haven't done that yet. Getting lead is the problem round here. Did u take it all from Ontario when u left - for your big Sharps?
My original question was recipes for Barnes bullets in the 35 rem, if I had wanted other bullets and or recipes I would have asked for it.
I have tried all those big round nose bullets, and want to try something better, and fwiw, rem corelokts are just about the crappiest bullets I have ever shot in my 35 accuracy wise...
I was trying to make the point that Barnes should include the 35 rem in the reloading data and not exclude it because the bullets are "unsafe" in tube magazines, what about the semi auto's and the single shot rifles and pistols?

This is of some interest to me as I have some 247 grain cast bullets to try, they are Lyman SC mold in 358318 my size die puts them at .359
I have no idea where to start with load data or what velocity I should push them to.
