It sounds like you guys like the 35 caliber. I looked at Midway and Midsouth for brass for the 35 Remington, and the 358 Winchester. They did not have any. I am sure I can find the brass somewhere.
Match Grade Machine has 3-358 Winchester barrels in stock, but they do not have any 35 Remington barrels in stock. Ed's TC has a 35 Reminton barrel in stock, but it does not specify if it is for Encore or Contender, and it is used.
It appears that i will have to go to a gas check design. I took a long look at the 200 grain bullets. What twist should I get? I am leaning toward the 35 Remington. I would like to get about 2000 fps from the 200 grain, gas checked, cast bullet. Please remember this is a pistol project. What barrel length do you guy's recommend? Scope will be a 2 X 7 Burris with the Ballistic Plex reticle. Is a 10-12 inch barrel enough for velocity, and to clear the scope? I believe I will port the barrel???
Thanks for your input guys. Tom.
