    .35 Remington M-Die

    For the .35 Remington, would a one get a short neck expand die or a long neck expand die?

    Thanks
    At one with the gun.

    I'd order the short; the long would be for .35 Whelen-length cartridges.

    Concur with Beau. I use the .35 short for my 35 Rem loading.

    I'm frugal, (that sounds better than cheap) I use the one from my .357 die set.

    I would use the long 35 rifle plug in a medium length to short die body.

    Individual caliber M-Dies at $22 each can run into some good money if one shoots multiple calibers, which I do
    Track of the Wolf expander plus with the Lee Expansion die ... the plugs for $3 bucks a pop ... one time purchase Lee die - $10 bucks results in a substantial savings

    I use the short one, midway lists this as "for the .35 remington" and I agree that it is correct for it.

    I have used the 9mm m die also, before my .35 m die came in, and it kind of worked but I later found out that it is not a wide as the rifle one (I think it's .356 instead of .358 or so) and that explains why I had minor lead shaving with it. So, I would recommend the short rifle die.
