35 Rem
« on: October 22, 2006, 10:47:58 AM »
Anybody here hear of a Handi in a 35 Rem.? Thats one I'd like to have. I don'tthink they chamber for it but maybe an email or 1000 to NEF might turn their head?

They don't offer it, but it's always been on our wish lists. I have a .357mag Handi that is rechambered to .35Rem, it shoots 200gr BTB FPGCs moa or better, velocity is 2125fps.

So who rechambered it and what did it cost to do?

Wayne York, $100 with ejector work, maybe less if you do your own which isn't easy since the .357 is a rimmed cartridge and the .35Rem is rimless ;)

There was some question about the 1:18¾" twist rate stabilizing heavier bullets, but it works fine with 250gr cast bullets, may not for spitzers tho.
