Anybody own a 350 Remington Magnum?

@Alaska
What speeds are you getting out of those loads.
Bob

Bob
In 22” you will get 2492 fps with 250 speer
With the 200gr Hornady RN a 2434 fps
What do you plan to shoot it out of ?
In 22” you can seat the bullet out to 2.90”
This was all in Ruger 77
That Speer load was my favorite here in Alaska !
Really liked that Rem 600 in 350 on the Bear Bait Stand ……..perfect setup with Leupold 1.5x5 scope.

I thought they were mild loads.
I thought the 200grainers at 2,8000fps would be good and the 250s should get up to 2,600, but if they work that's fine. If your shooting bears over bait I dont
think 4,000fpe of muzzle energy is needed. You load eould do well without pounding the shit out of you.

My 350 RM are long gone. That 200gr was a great black bear buster in the Rem 600 on bait stand.

You need to get another one or a Whelen or a 358 loaded with some of Paco Kelly's favourite loads. For some reason the 35s just seem to work and are very versatile from up close out tot a fair way out yonder.

Had the Whelen and the 358 win in BLR and the 338-06 . The one I didn’t have was the excelllent 358 Norma Mag .

Well cure the itch and get one. If necessary you can make 358 Norma mag cases out of 338WM cases if you have to.
Load it up with some nice 275gn Woodleigh PPSP, good bc and an sd slightly higher than the 300gn 375 and go have fun.

I have a Ruger MKll that has put a Ton of meat in my freezers. I shoot a Barnes 225 TSX over Ramshot Tac @ 2850fps. Shoots 1/2" when i do my part. Compact and shoots great. Kills like a bolt of lightening.

I have wanted a .350 Remington Magnum since before I was big enough to shoot one. As fate would turn out, I settled on the .35 Whelen instead, and I'm glad I did. It shoots the same bullets at the same velocity, in a rifle that has "normal" dimensions and handling. I prefer the .35 Whelen rifles that I've owned vs the short, oddly styled, and inferior "Remington" quality 600 and 660's that the .350's came in. Plastic parts, weird vent ribs, odd proportions are not for me. But the cartridge, AH! It was a genius development. I prefer short action rifle cartridges, if performance is similar to "standard" action cartridges. The .350 was ahead of its time. But I don't want one any more.

I have a Rem M700 in 350Rem and have been loading for it for about 15years. I have never even heard of a Lee whack-a-mole in that caliber. I would get one of the Lee hand held presses. That and a set of dies would be about the same size as the whack-a-mole set and a club to use with it.

Last Saturday at the local rifle range i was shooting my Ruger 77 MK11 350 Rem mag with 225 grain Speers, the rifle is fitted with a 1 inch decelerator pad, aslo shooting my Zastava 375 H&H with 270 grain speers, the rifle is also fitted with a 1 inch decelerator pad, the 375 is a heaver rifle, the 350 was hurting me after about 6 shots, the 375 did not have the sharp recoil of the 350, the 350 is not nice off the bench, but no problem standing up off the shoulder. As you said the 350 Rem was a short Mag before the short mag craze.

Corlane sports in Dawson Creek BC has a very good supply of primed brass

I guess no one feels recoil when shooting at game, but I don't recall anything worse than a 30'06 with 200 gr/ recoil when I used my nephew's 350 mag.
It gets the job done

@rdog
Off the bench my Whelen is good 20 to 30 full power loads but the stock design is brilliant and recoil comes straight back with minimal muzzle rise.
The mates sauer 9.3x62 is an absolute bitch, one shot pull me up with that price of a stock.
Just let me know when you want to get rid of that 350 I will gladly take it

Bob, i do not think a old bloke like you could handle it.

@rdog
Younger than you mate but not by to much.
You send it down I will handle it.
I'll even pay the postage.

Some years ago i sold my Ruger 77mk1 35 Whelen i was really stupid , & regretted the loss .
Ruger made a limited number of 77 mk2 rifles in 350 Rem magnum, i purchased one when they were available
in Australia. It knocks down wild pigs like they have been hit by lightning, using 225 grain Woodleighs.
does any body have any experience with the 350 REM MAG ?

I have been in the process of making my own brass as they want 6 a piece for factory stuff so Im making mine of 7mm remington mag and today I made 100 ea , with 100% reliability , my first load is a 250 gain S.P. using IMR 3031 @43 grains and my second load is the same 250 grain S.P. using H- 4895 @ 44 grains I tryed using other belted magnums but the case mouths to thick and the 7mm mag brass is the best to form, trim ,full length size , trim and then load , Ya its a process but Im not spending 120 for a box of 20 ea !

Good to hear it can be done, please explain the process of forming the brass.

I bought a Redding form die in 350 R.M. 1/ I just lightly lube the case and run them through the Form die 2/ I bought a 2'' mini benchtop cut off saw from harbor Tool ( SKU 62136 or 42307) and a 1/2'' piece of copper tubing about 3 inches long that is to hold the case while I cut them to semi length . 3/ chamfer the inside and out side of case 4/ Full length size 5/ trim to 2.160 in my RCBS Pro Trimmer .

I have a Ruger M77 MKII in 350 Rem Mag. I really like the cartridge. I have been loading 350 since way back in the 1970s when I had one of the M-600s.
