The best (your favorite) 35 cal boolit...

[Beerd]

It’s a great one and hard to come by. Load it in a 700 Classic 35 Whelen with Varget and it will lay down inch groups at 100 all day long

care to post a picture?
(of the bullet, we believe you about the target)

Your slacking my friend...

I still haven’t fired the cast boolits you sent me! I have to work my way into my 35’s! I’ll have to brake on my new HP MP 200 grain mold. I casted up a good 40 lbs of lee 200’s in 50/50 and PCd them...and haven’t shot a one yet.

That one may give me same issues as its forward section is close to a bore rider..

Here you go

The NOE 360-232 seems to be working @ 230g and this new Accurate 36-270c is also a winner for PC. But I need to find some Data for cast in the Norma Magnum.

Like many of you, I am a 35 caliber NUT!

I have many and I like it allot.

Interested to read whats your favorite 35 caliber and why and what cast bullet is your favorite.

For me, I like my NOE 360/232 mold best. Many I like a aweful lot. Hard not to choose a RD mold. (This NOE is reminiscent of a RD bullet)

Funny you should mention that mold/bullet! Just got one, and did some casting with it last eve. It was my first brass mold, so had to learn how to use it. Found out it likes to be hot, and after it was up to temp, it did well. I culled them pretty hard and came out with 74 nice bullets. Now to powdercoat and load! I think they will make an awesome hunting bullet for me 358 Winchester.

LBT 360-160-FN or LBT 360-200-LFN. I can get the 160 to some crazy velocities in the FA Model 83 or in the 77/357

Have you had much experience with the 160 FN and Win 296? Would like to discuss this with someone who has.

To be a bit different here my Marlin .35 Rem really likes the Lyman 358315. I also shoot the RCBS 35-200, and it's good too, but with an appropriate amount of W748, that Lyman cloverleafs at 50yds for me. I have a nice old ideal mold and they drop at .359 so all they get is lube when I run them through my 450. They are a pleasure to cast and shoot.

Been having excellent results with the recent group buy MP 200 grain HP mold in 35 rem and 357 max ,

I never could get that 315 bullet to shoot well at full speed in my 35 Rem 1600fps it did great push it faster and accuracy would fall off quick . I've noticed there's at least 2 versions I've owned one has a shorter more rounded nose the other was longer and less rounded , the shorter version shot better . Both were undersized by design on the nose(bore ride section) at .346-.348

Can someone casting/shooting the Lee 358-200-RF tell me what diameter in drops in COWW or #2 alloy?

My 2 cavity mould using WW and soft 50/50 come out at .359
