Anyone try or use a 10" .35 Rem barrel?
« on: September 27, 2010, 02:14:39 PM »
I don't even know if they were offered by T/C but I'm intrigued by .35's and set up to load .35 Rem so looking for info on the 10" configuration.  I know a lot of people are in love with the .357 Max so why not a little more case volume?  Is 10" enough to get a good burn of 35-40 grains of powder?  The Hunter size is deadly, but I'd like a smaller carry.  Thanks

      Poor performance of a 35Rem in a 10" barrel was the reason Bob Milek and Steve Herrett designed the 357Herrett.  As good, if not better velocity, less muzzle blast and flash, and a shorter column of powder to burn.  This was before the Max came along and of course it was designed originally for revolver use.  I've had a couple of 35Remmy's in 14" tubes, but never tried one in a 10". :D
