35 Remington rimmed

[Good Cheer]

Hi John Taylor.
Would you think a .303 based cast boolit cartridge made with .35 Remington dies would be a practical project for a 6.5 Dutch carbine?

Hey old posts still have merit to discuss, possibly just a whole new viewpoint.

Having been a .35 Rem fan for many, many years, the idea of a rimmed version has always appealed to me as a way to permit reduced loads without having to have a special set of cases for them. Modifying my Dad's 336 to take a rimmed version would work; I got as far as testing an empty case to see if it would feed, (it will). But life keeps getting in the way.

Would I do it in a single shot? I doubt it - there are easier options.

Easier??? IDK... Worth it?? IDK
I been loving my 357Herrett, Contender for a Very, ...Very, long time.. But, I only run 10" barrels in Contenders..

Easier is .357 Max.

Val,

Old posts can be treasures. I often review them to 'refresh' my long lost memory.

So Q: re;
"I'm having my .35-40 Maynard chamber rechambered to .35-.30-30 now so I can save shortening brass and use as formed, full length. .35 Rem. is 1.92" and .35-.30/30 is 2.04" length, and you can reload it using .35 Rem. dies if you only neck size cases."

Are you doing this so you don't have to chase 38-55 brass..?
Because my 35-40 chamber was designed by Dan T. it was done so contemplating using 38-55 brass, that's what I use.

Is your 35-40 based on a different parent case?

I'm doing the conversion to .35-.30-30 because my Darr barrel was supposedly .35-40 Maynard, and is not properly chambered. The chamber cast shows the neck is .350" so no way the .357" Darr 190 gr. bullet mold could be used without breech seating bullets. But no way other than a push seater to do that, and the too small neck leaves a bad lead into the rifling. The existing chamber also requires me to turn down the web above the base, and also turn down rims. So it's just overall a crumby chamber I don't like.
I could rechamber to a number of choices, but the .35-.30-30 is kind of a no brainer, and makes things easier. I have hundreds of .32 Win. Spl. cases, and no guns in that cartridge, so they simply need to be fire formed, and can be used as is. Since I wont full length size them I can reload using my .35 Rem. die set too.

Sounds efficient..
I had never heard of the 35/30-30

Thanks for the education

These are several cartridges I shoot, the 357 Herrett and 30 Herrett are on the right with cast, the very similar case middle left is the 358 MGP, a necked up 6.8 SCP. Middle right is the 357 Super Mag. The one to the left next right is the rimless 30 Herrett, or TAC 30. The far left is the pip squeak, 300 BO.

I have a 35 rem contender barrel that isn't all that with the 35 rem cast I am looking for something that I can do with a reamer that will make it better leaning toward a 358 win. . So following this thread closely .

It was news to me Bob, and I thought one of those newer wildcats they've come up with at first. Then did some research and discovered it's one of those old wildcat cartridges and was first developed around 1900, or just after. I felt kinda stupid to discover it was that old and I'd only recently found out about it.

Rapier,

That is quite the collection of 35 cal's.
I am mostly a fan of straight case cartridges, although I have a martini cadet that someone
chambered in 32 Win Sp. which turned out badly as the twist is too slow and it's too much cartridge for that little light weight rifle.

Marlin,
Given the plethera of 30-30 cases, in today's environment it makes sense.
That being said I prefer straight wall cartridges
