35 Remington 158gr

[Mauser48]

Going to load up some 35 remington for my newly acquired rifle. I have a good amount of the lee 358 158 rnfp cast up that I like to shoot in my revolvers. They are sized .358 and powder coated, no gas check. Just looking for a light to moderate plinking round. I'm thinking something more along the lines of a pistol powder? I have unique, w231, and a ton of 700x. Also have various rifle powders. Let me know what you guys think I'm open to ideas. Where do you go for seating depth just the crimp groove?

Just checked I also have some blue dot.

I have been using 6 grains of Unique in my .357 Maximum, very close to same 'poi' as my 180 grain hunting loads. hc18flyer

I use the crimp groove in my 350 Rem Mags. Red Dot or E3 for powder. I need to look for exact charge but they are 1,350 ft/s ish. I shoot these lubed with LARS BAC or Carnauba Red. I would use 700X. I will look when I get home and post charge wt.

8.5 gr E3

In my 35 Remington(s), 158 swc PB, 8.0 gr of Unique. My notes say it was mild, and accurate, But I can't find the Chrono results just now!!!

Edit; digging for chrono results I did Find...5.0 gr RedDot, gave 1000fps with the same PB158swc.. this from my M98 Mauser in 35Rem.
Edited to add a Zero!!!!

You may need a fatter bullet, .359, .360 if your rifle is a Microgroove Marlin 336.

I like to keep my pistol bullet 35 Rem loads just sub-sonic (1000 - 1100 fps) for nice plinking/small game loads which are accurate and relatively quiet. I mostly use Bullseye powder but have used 700X for excellent results. Suggest you try 4.5 gr of your 700X under your Lee cast bullets.

8.0 Unique gave you 100 FPS?

Unique works fine....1 1/2" groups at 50 yd. 7.5 gr/140 HC .358 dia, LP primer. Neck sized, roll crimp (xp100)
Titegroup.... smaller groups / single diget SD. Try the faster powders as well(231,700x), they may suprise you :wink:

Recently tried some speer 148 HBWC..... :holysheep

Whats the load range for 700x? What kind of velocity should I expect?

I lubesize all bullets at .360 for use in 35caliber rifles. 35 rem and 35 whelen

Goto hodgdon site and use 357 mag 158 lead data for 700x
