.35 Rem with the brass shortened

[357Mag]

Scott A. -

Good news about the little jump to rifling, that you mentioned.

I was just thinking recently, that a long .35 might just make up the difference
( or most of it ) between a notional 1.800" trimmed-back .35 Rem case; and a stock 1.920" case.

I understand the Game Warden ( DNR ) officer comments. I've twice been asked to open my trunk, when shooting groundhogs in NE Indiana.
Heck... those don't even have a season ! I was shooting ( in both instances ) fairly close to " city limits ".

These DNR guys have hours of boredom, with brief moments of intense excitement . So, they are often just looking for something to do.

With regards,

The old law I clipped and posted in #18 here clearly stated rifles that fire a cartridge with a case length of X Y. Don’t’ know what the final draft of a new law will read like but to my untrained eye a “rifle that fires” means just that. Will matter not what length you have your cases trimmed to. I see absolutely no confusion on that point.

Prosecutor would simply need a dummy 35 Rem round to show the judge how it drops right into your rifle. After that your fancy argument is nothing but an old Pat and Mike joke.

ummm... I think some of you are missing the point here. It dosn't matter what the gun is chambered for, as long as your AMMO is legal. In my case, as long as all the 35 Rem. ammo on my person while hunting next fall has a BRASS length of 1.8 in. or less it dosn't matter what is stamped on my rifle. It's all about the brass length & a .357 min. dia. projectile.

BVT,
I HAVE a CZ-527 in 7.62x39 and it is incredibly accurate. Yes, it could be rebarreled, but the original poster doesn't want to go to any expense to be legal or practical.

SG,
The OP is a lawyer, so doesn't care if he is called for using short brass in a SAMMI chamber.

That might make a difference! I would still go for a 44 mag and not the hassle.

Only problem I can see is getting a crimp. Its needed in a tube mag.

Just take a size die to a machine shop and have them ream it out so you can crimp. Also might need to cut some off the bottom so the shell holder doesn't hit.

I just use an -06 here.

[SCOTT ARTHUR]

I cut down a 35 Rem. Lee FCD die. It crimps the shorter brass just fine!
