Why Aren't The 35's More Popular?


My new 358 Norma

:)Nice. Any details on the rifle? In my initial quest for a 358 Norma Magnum, it was with the intent of getting one in a Schultz & Larsen. I had previously been offered a couple of CZs and a Husqvarna which I had turned down when a gentleman on site offered me another Husqvarna. I basically turned that down as well,:redface: until he sent me a few photos of it, at which time I weakened :redface:.





It's a Husqvarna model 1651 and too pretty to turn down.
I was finally able to locate and obtain a Schultz & Larsen, model 68Dl.



This was the last item of my quest for a three gun Schultz & Larsen collection, as/the three cartridges shown on the cover of an old Norma reloading manual.



Top down,
- S&L model 68DL in 7x61 S&H
- S&L model 65DL in 308 NM
- S&L model 68DL in 358 NM
Apparently these three calibres were the result of a joint effort or co-operation between Norma and Schultz & Larsen.
 
The 35 family of cartridges is one I have been reading up on recently and they definitely have my interest.
Thanks for starting this great thread.

Lots of guys have had awesome luck tuning cast bullets in the 35's, easier and better groups then anything 30 and below

tell us more:
- weight
- velocity
- barrel twist and length

I'm wondering if the .35 family might be a good choice for using cast boolits in the Silhouette game. Need enough boolit strength and momentum to topple 50 lb, 3/8" steel plate Ram silhouettes at 500m, and manageable recoil for 2, 40 shot matches/day.
