30-350 Remington Magnum?
« on: December 10, 2006, 10:17:57 AM »
Has anyone experimented or read of experiments by others with wildcats on the .350 Remington Magnum case?  I read of a 9.3mm-350 in one of the gun mags, but have not seen any data on what reults of necking the .350 Rem mag down to .270, 7mm or .308. 

I would appreciate any information  or experience any one has.  Thanx.

Merry Christmas.

In Mr. Ackley's books, available from eabco.com, sinclair, ebay sometimes, etc.; there is a summary of thousands of cartridges, factory, improved and wildcat.

Remington was making a bad joke with the .350 Mag and the 6.5 Magnum -- a belted case short enough for a pistol action, the XP100 pistol and Model 600 rifle as I recall. The magnum head came from the H&H family which were, in the earlier times used to get more powder capacity into full length actions--larger in diameter than the .30/'06/Mauser family of cases,in the 1917 Enfield especially. And blown out. To shorten the belted case when the .308 case and .358 Winchester was already on the shelf... Not that funny, not that useful...

Reportedly the .300 savage was tried for the military cartridge and the .308 was the .300 Savage with more neck. I suspect someone took the .300 Savage up to .358, although with the short neck... lame.

Working with the .350 Case is not going to be alot more fruitful. With the .308 family out there, why? No doubt if you look far enough, you will find something, but with the cheap surplus brass in .308 (sorry 7.62 X 51MM NATO) not alot. luck

When used in a standard length action, the .350 Rem capacity case necked to .270, 7mm and .308 are called .270 Winchester, .280 Remington and .30-06 Springfield.  While the case shapes are different, the capacities are the same.  Wildcatting this case leaves you with hard to sell custom dies and rifle that accomplish no special function.  Remington's admitted goal for the 6.5 was simply to have a marque round that would reach .270 ballistics in a carbine, ie; a counter to the .284 Winchester of the same time period.  The 9.3 that you read of was an effort to equal 9.3x62 ballistics in a short actioned rifle.
