T/C NutNeed some info on the 350 Rem Mag
Looking at the 350 Rem Mag for blackbear and elk at a range of 20 to 200 yards. Anyone shoot this caliber..? Would like to hear how it performed on game and with what bullet you used.
Thanks, T/C Nut

dan belisleI've used it on moose, deer, elk, and bear, works great. 250 gr Speer. Mine (at least the current one) is built on a 98 action, to let me load the cartridge to a longer col. Gets me 2615 fps with the 250 gr bullet. Works very, very well. - dan

buckeyeshooterworks great in short range. I use the 180 grain Barnes for deer and black bear. Then a 225 Barnes or 250 grain Nosler partition for elk or large game.

I use the 225 Nosler Part over IMR4895. Deadly and shoots a wee bit flatter than the 250's.

T/C NutI plan on rebarreling my XP-100 single-shot center-grip pistol to the 350 O.A.L's should not be a problem at all. I'm hoping to get around 2550+fps with a 200gr bullet out of a 17" tube.

T/C Nutahhhh shouldn't be to bad heck I shot that elk in my Avitar with a 16.5" 300 Win Mag Encore pistol with/out a muzzle brake. I may need a brake tho for the 350 but, I'll try it with/out first.

<eldeguello>Like the .358 and .35 Whelen, it is MORE than just a short-range rifle, if the right (spitzer-type) bullets are used. It has about the same case capacity as the .30/'06 or .35 Whelen, and performs about like the .35 Whelen. It deserves at least a 22" barrel, and does give you the advantage of working in a short action, thus saving some weight over the Whelen.

Have one in a 600 lots of flash and plenty of dash with a 225 atop 56.3 grns of IMR 4064 about 2410 out of a 18".It will curl your nose hairs!!!!

Major CaliberIt's a good cartridge, but the 35 Whelen is more practical, easy to find brass, same power plus or minus a few fps, and 5rd mag capacity!
