Just a note about loads for the 35Rem, the data for the rounds I used to ring the 185 yd gong
follow.
180g Hornady spire point (Not for use in tubular magazines)
a mish mash of brass: RP, SuperX, & FC
Standard rifle primer
36.7 g of 3031 measured not weighed (as in shaken not stirred)
with a Quinetics hand held measure.
Not crimped, trimmed to just over minimum length, and seated with a inline Herters seater die.
Bob & I both had to hold over about 8" to compensate for drop.
These should be approached from 10% reduction as with all load testing.
Again I found the gong to be addictive with it's delayed notice you hit.
Sources for data working up this load began with Ken Waters Pet Loads, Lee manual, and Hornady manual.
