    A 35 Rem rechambered to a low power 358 Win is really just a 356 Win without the rim. I would have used the 356 Win reamer and just made brass from 444 Marlin to avoid ever loading a full load 358...

    As long as they will chamber with no issues, you can't go wrong with cast bullets sized @ 0.310-0.311" in most any 30 WCF gun. And, with a single shot you may be able to just neck size the brass for...

    All Model 17s have easily removable barrels; I was just trying to make everyone aware that the barrels are generally not swappable between different receivers without some gunsmithing work.
