I have read the numbers was from 24" and herd a Rington guy say it was from 20". I tend ta believe 24" myself.
Yes a straight cased 35 Remington. BUT LEGAL in straight wall states where the 35 Remington IS NOT!
Yes IF THE STATE ALLOWS shortening cases!! Most will go only by FACTORY as it is constant everyone can see read and know. ZERO personal interpretation. Im with ta here and beleive you would be in the right following "rules" but also dont like the BS of proving ta someone I was legal...
