I picked up an Oveido M1916 action back in '69. They were very pleased with the cartridge. I have done these conversion to 35x57 on 3 SR Mausers for others. The formed 35x57 cartridges have the Mauser case taper so they feed w/o any action alteration of the rails.Īgain, the cases are easily made and being totally non factory you control the psi level. No expensive dies are needed.standard Whelen dies are easily shortened. The really nice thing, other than it is a great cast bullet cartridge, about the 35x57 is there is no factory cartridge with attendant pressure to worry about.Ī standard low cost, easy to rent 35 Whelen finish reamer is used to finish ream the chamber to headspace on the cases you form.Ĭases are easily formed from 35 Whelen or 30-06 or by using 8x57 cases.ĭies are standard 35 Whelen dies that have been shortened so the shoulder of the 8x57 case (or 35 Whelen '06 shortened to 57mm) is set back just enough so the longer 35 Whelen neck is formed. However, were I to rebarrel a 1916 Oviedo to 35 caliber I would get the Shilen short chambered 35 Rem barrel with a 14" twist and chamber it to the 35x57 cartridge. I push that cast bullet at 2150 fps in the bolt gun.
It is a sweet shooting rifle and deadly on deer with the RCBS 35-200-FN. I rebarreled a M91 Argentine using a Brownell's Shilen 26" barrel pre-threaded and short chambered. Yes the 35 Rem would be a suitable cartridge. Also, would 35 Remington be a suitable cartridge if I end up barrelling? Thanks, Randy.
