Going to push the envelope on dumb questions here. Could a Lee .379 boolit be sized to .359-.360 to use in a 35 Rem? And would a Marlin MG have enough twist to stabilize a 250 grainer?

If you lube the boolit and then run it through a 358 sizer, It might work, sort of. The better option is to go to one of the custom mold makers and buy a 35-250. The only way I'd try this stunt is to run the boolits through a Lee sizer.
thats pretty dang far.
i think you'd end up really work softening the alloy, bending the g/c waay outta shape,
and smearing even a filled lube groove to near nothingness.
Got a new mold on the way. 190 grain, 359 gascheck from Ranch Dog. Gonna add it to the inventory.
PM or email for more details.

I'll remember that. I thought about ordering a RD for the 35 Rem but don't know how much I'll shoot it. I ordered 100 Beartooth 200 gr. yesterday. I didn't think I could size .375 to .359 but thought I'd ask.
Thanks for the replies.
