Nobade35 BR
I've been mulling this one over a bit yesterday. Seems like it'd make a dandy cast bullet round in one of my short action Remmies. I guess if I wanted to do it on the cheap I could run a .358 reamer in short, headspace it with a BR guage, and trim .358 dies to the proper length. Wonder if anybody out there has one already?

Paul HI do have a dummy round, but never made it past that point. I figured for the trouble of making a gun, I might as well just go with the 358 win. The win case has enough capacity to get 2000 fps from the 3589 bullet, and isn't too big of a case to shoot the lighter bullets well.

chromeYea, I've been wonting to do the same but with the 8mm.
I have an Encore rifle in 6mm br and its nice and compact.
Would like to have a barrel in 8mm br. , I figured it would make a nice deer gun with the 150 gr. Hornady sp at around 2400 fps.
The .35 would do real nice with all the pistol bullets out there.
