Well, I'm still loading 35 Whelen for my preacher but at the same time buying him some loading equipment so he can do it on his own.I've given him a press, a scale. a powder measure + several dies set that I was dbld. up on.NOT 35 Whelen. I am not giving away my only set of 35 Whelen dies. Is anyone willing to pass along a set of dies? Kinda dumb, but it never hurts to ask. Never mistake motion for action. | |||

My guess is to have a calibre that could match the 338 Winchester for velocity with equal sectional density bullets as the WSM case is a little smaller than the 338 Winchester. A 35 WSM would be in the slow lane for equal sectional density bullets. | |||

That’s cool on a whole ‘nother level. There is only one 35 cooler than that and it’s the 350 Rigby, period. | |||

Yep, 350 G&H is correct...Mine was a mod -70 pre 64 or pre war super grade..At that time the problem was bullets were too soft at its velocity, but it killed never the less, they went off like a bomb inside..Probably were 35 Rem bullets...I dumped it.With some of Todays bullets it would be a damn fine caliber..

Wow, Ray. I bet you wish you still had that rifle with today's bullets as you mentioned. But, you'd just sell it... And I'd buy it!  | |||

Surefire, only if I didn't get it first. I'm enjoying all the info here as I'm a 35 nut. I have a few, including multiples of some, 358 Winchester, 4 I think, 350 RM two, 35 whelen sold, 9x56 M/S, and some others on the drawing board. Not to mention four 9.3s. Be Well, Packy | |||

Packy, you're my kinda' guy! Ray, if you ever come across another 350 G&H, I'll give you $10 more than Packy's offer...  | |||

What bullet weight is the bullet in the 350 G and H Magnum? I think the box says 270 grain which is perfect. My problem with the 35 has always been too little weight bullets. 250, 270/275, 300/310 should have been the standard. Not 180, 200, 225. For deer it does not mater. In my mind the 358 should be a big bear and moose cartridge. The American equivalent to the 375HH. Like the 9.3x64, 9.3x66, or 9.3x62 are in Europe. | |||

350 G&H or Guns and ammo?  | |||

IMHO a 35-300 HH would be a cooler cart with a looooong neck for cast boolits but I am a fan of G&H. I dub thee 358 Giraffe! 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

One thing that has surprised me is with the resurgence of the 416 Rigby and in cheap rifles like the CZ that the 350 Rigby has not had a run. Might sell a few in the CZs. I reckon Winchester could sell quite a few 300 H&Hs if they were made as companion rifles to their 375 H&Hs an that includes price. Be lots of profit in each rifle when you think the 375 costs more than 270 etc Super Ggrade but comes with the shit wood. | |||

A fine matching pair of 350 and 416 Rigby would be sweet.

I'd love to have a 350 Rigby to accompany my 416 Rigby. But I'd need factory ammo as well... My last two safaris with Andrew in Zambia has been close to this (2)-rifle battery: a 35 Whelen and a 404 Jeffery. I really like this combo, and ballistically speaking, it's almost identical. | |||

Is more needed than this... Wiki on the 358 Norman Mag, "Norma's factory ammunition for the .358 Norma drives a 250-grain bullet at 2880 fps and produces more than 4,600 ft-lbs (foot-pounds) of kinetic energy.." | |||

And 275ish,and 310 bullets work well for NM also. was mr Rigby before a pc crash | |||

Now, that's impressive! Sure that isn't a 250 gr. @ 2,780 fps? At any rate, a damn fine 35 caliber round!  | |||

You are right on that one, I'm having Joel Accerman in Dickinson build me a second one on a Interarms Mark X Mauser. | |||

Surefire, Your just too personal!  If I did sell it today it would be for a 35/20mm, but come to think of it Id damn sure sell it too, and quickly...That's like my Gibbs imp. on a 7.5 lb rifle, one shot and down the gunshow road...

Fred Wells necked down a 378 Wby to 35 caliber....called it the 35 Wells, or 350 Wells magnum....I forget. | |||

Really like to pry the coffins off necro-threads. The most practical 35 Whelen is the original, BUT the Brown-Whelen or 35 Whelen Ackley Imp will push a 250 gr bullet into 2600 FPS territory. With a Woodleigh or Nosler bullet, it will handle anything that walks in North America and most African game. Easy to shoot and reload. I have a 35 Whelen on a custom pre-64 Model 70 that looks like a Super Grade. Avatar | |||

I am finally building my 358STA. Maybe not the most powerful, but the most powerful in Nolser’s reloading manual. | |||

JonP: That 250gr @ 2880fps is SLOW! My .358RUM turned 250s' out at 3260fps. Correction from post above. 99gr not 95 as I posted. 7828. Recoil is a thumper! George "Gun Control is NOT about Guns' "It's about Control!!" Join the NRA today!" LM: NRA, DAV, George L. Dwight | |||

I still have 7-8 original 350 G&H Magnum live cartridges from when the company cleaned out the gunsmith room at the Bernardsville location. | |||
