Agreed. The .35s don't get the recognition they could for being able to have fun or make truly useful reduced loads with pistol bullets while being very emphatic with big game bullets.Yep, that's your opinion. They'll sell quite a few of them. The flexability to smoke some 125 gr .358 bullets or load 200's sounds fun. I've been wanting a 357 Maximum for a long time but nobody makes a lever in that caliber. This one should surpass it. At least they didn't go to a stupid bullet size like the Legend...
Of course my .35 is a .358 Norma Magnum so slightly different conversation.
I have been in conversation with Geoff at woodleigh and it sounds like they are to be up and running again and do plan to make one that I'm really after: the 310 grain round nose .358 weldcore. Hammer makes a 275 grain hunter down to a 140 grain er. And I can use 125 and even 110 bullets for a .357 revolver in the beast. Not too much out there that can utilize that kind of variety.
At present I only have 2 loads worked up, a 250 interlock and a 280 swift a frame, both doing 2800. Interlock load is a tad less hot for sure.
