Well where to start first off a friend buys a gun in some podunk town hardware store for a good price. It's a Remington model 35 chambered in .358 winchester. He can't find any ammo so me the resident gun nut gets a call after all other options have failed.

I research it and in 1955 winchester necked up a .308 to .358 as a brush gun and it flopped. They no longer make brass for it. It is a nice gun pump action with a magazine. I decided after searching on the net for ammo and found some companies that neck up .308 and load ammo for it at $40-$80 dollars a box I could do it my self.

I have been loading for almost 20 years but this is the first time I have done anything like this. So far so good if any of you have ever done anything like this and can give me some pointers I would apprieciate it.

Here is where I am at so far, I necked up some brass found out one thing it better be good brass other wise sometimes it splits the neck. I went through all my .308 brass and found some Lake City it worked great.

Here are some before and after pics.







This is a pic of the gun it is a nice gun has an OLD Leopold scope on it but is in great condition.



Now to figure out what load to start out with I am thinking of going with a 200-225 grn bullet and either IMR 4064 or 4895.
