TY! So many nice rifles in this caliber I need.Try Superior Ammo.

For .350 RM, your best bet in finding NOS factory ammo is on one of the auction sites. Otherwise, unless a custom ammo outfit is making it, you’ll just have to source the necessary components and handload it yourself. Brass is the biggest issue but it’s out there occasionally.Can factory ammo be found anywhere? I need one of these and ammo is nonexistent
Following up on my previous post for the Remmy 350 Mag fans, here are a couple of recent pics of my models 660 (20” barrel) and 600 (18.5” barrel). Both have been ‘lightly’ customized by my ‘smith as described in earlier posts.Since my earlier post detailing my M600, I acquired its successor sibling the 20” model 660 in .350 Rem Mag.

We did a similar upgrade package as on the former: a well-fitted, black Kick-Ezz recoil pad; a steel trigger guard to replace the warping plastic factory guard; replaced the factory front sight with a Williams fiber optic sight and then zeroed the rifle @ 100-yds with factory 200grn ammo and an equivalent 200grn handload.

I’ve since added a low-powered, low-mounted Leupy scope and will add pics at some point.
That would be a custom rifle, I don't think the BLR was ever made in .350 Rem Mag... I am open to being wrong in that, but I have never seen one.Awesome rifle and caliber. I lust after one in a BLR
Yep, and aside from being the world’s first short magnum, the real genius of the cartridge is that it can be loaded up or down as needed, with a good variety of .35-cal bullets, for the particular species of game you’re hunting.Awesome rifle and caliber. I lust after one in a BLR
Any cartridge can be loaded down... the .350 Rem Mag cannot be assigned "genius" for that. Many caliber accept pistol bullets and have a wide range of bullet weights available. As for powders, most can be made to work with filler, or the newer bulky powders can yield lower velocities with a full case. I feel the real power of the .350 Rem Mag was in the attribute for which it was originally designed... namely, achieving tremendous power in a short case. I load mine to the hilt with 250 grain Partitions and have witnessed dozens of times how it drops the Hammer of Thor on large game.Yep, and aside from being the world’s first short magnum, the real genius of the cartridge is that it can be loaded up or down as needed, with a good variety of .35-cal bullets, for the particular species of game you’re hunting.
That means you can shoot Midwest deer at mild 30-30 levels, or step it up a bit to the old school .35 Remington level, or for the really big stuff like bears, moose, caribou, or elk, run it full-throttle at the magnum level.

@benchracerRemington factory 200 grain CoreLokt ammunition averaged 2682 at the muzzle. Handloads developed for the previous barrel averaged right at 2700 with the same bullet.
I am getting ready to begin load development with the 200 grain CoreLokt bullets I have on hand. I also plan to obtain some Sierra 225 GameKings and some Barnes 200 TTSX for load development. I am looking at testing the following powders: AR COMP, CFE 223, Ramshot TAC, Staball Match, and N540.
Based on initial QL work, accuracy with the 200's should show up between 2840ish and about 2900 with the various powders. Accuracy with the 225's should show up between 2630ish and 2690ish.
@hoytcanonI use the 250 Hot-Cor's in my Whelen's and mostly 250 Partitions in my .350 Rem Mags...
@BryceMDecades ago, my dad bought a Rem 600 in .350 Rem Mag. A couple years later he sold it. A few years after that he decided he missed it and started tracking it down. It passed through 2 or 3 hands before he eventually found it and was able to buy it back.
I inherited it a few years ago. I can't say it's fun to shoot, but it's a really nice gun to carry in heavy timber. Along with the rifle came plenty of brass, dies, and bullets. I don't really "need" it, but it will always have a spot in my gun safe.
Thanks dad!
