i see Remington has a 150gr bullet factory loaded for the 35 Remington.where can i get some of the bullets only?cant seem to find any in the Midway or Nachez catalogs.i would think they would be a great bullet for the 357max.are they?

I have only used the 150 gr 35 Rem factory load once...killed a mule deer doe at 182 yds. Maybe streching things a bit for that load,but it worked like a charm...the bullet went where it was meant to. I would think they would work well at 357 Max velocities.

Paul Dustin's Custom brass had Remington make him a special run of those bullets last year, had to order either 25,000 or 50,000 but I can't remember. Paul sold them by the 1,000 and they sold out in a few weeks. Maybe you can find them by asking around, I don't think that Paul even had any leads on more.
You are correct, they are great bullets for the 357 max, herrett and 35 rem. I also have had great success out of my 357 mag bullberry contender carbine barrel. Some folks will tell you these bullets are too short and inaccurate, but that is not my experience at all. As for the factory loads, I consistently shot sub 1 inch 3 shot groups out of my 14 inch bull contender barrel with several boxes of that I got a deal on several years ago.

good luck, if you find a line on more, let me know, my 1000 are already getting short.

Graycg said it all. I too got a shipment from Paul and would like to know if more were to become available.

I looked for those bullets for a couple of years because the factory ammo shot great in my 35 remington. I sold it recently, and I was at the big gun show in Tulsa and there was a booth that had a full large ammo can of those bullets. I guess I should have bought them and sold them to you guys. I do not recall the name of the dealer. It was one of the larger dealers there with reloading stuff, probably the largest. Prices were good too. This was in October of this year.

A friend of mine has several thousand of these bullets, (the last I talked to him). I know he would sell some off. If you guys are really interested in them, I'll post his contact info here tomorrow night.

I bought 500 from a friend in Alaska and have been shooting them in my 10" 357 max barrel with 22.5/H4227 /Rem 7.5 primer get about 1875 with the load and good accuracy <1" @75 yards. Planning to try them out on little white tails down here in SC just haven't had the chance to work them. I have also shot them out of me 10" 357 Herrett with 30/H4227/Rem 9.5 primers and get about 2150 and they work very well on hogs, deer and javelina. They are very good bullets for the 357H hope they will work as well out of the max. Short yes but so is the 140 JHP that Steve Herrett worked up the 357 Herret with.

I've had very good luck with the 150 CoreLokts in my 14" .35 Remington T/C. Velocity is 2330 fps using AA2015 and WW cases - RP cases did not take as heavy a load. Accuracy was as good as any other bullet in this barrel - 1.5 to 2 moa with a 4x Leupold. Performance on Kodiak Island deer and the little Texas variety has been ample.

This bullet got a bad rep for some reason, and once that started it was downhill....even though Remington loaded it for many years and still does, so it must sell well. But a bad rep - even if it is untrue - can kill a cartridge. Take the .358 WCF, a wonderful round but it got the rep as being a hard kicker with mediocre accuracy, so it failed. Anyone who has used it knows it is a great hunting cartridge. I have a few hundered 150s squirreled away for rainy days...
