made a lever action rifle in .35 Whelen? NOT the Remington .35 but the Whelen! If so, how long ago did they make them?

No, has not been a factory chambering in .35 Whelen.

Can the 336 in 35 REm. be rechambered to 358 win.? If not can a 1895 be rebarreled and rechambered to 358 win.?

I make .356 Win. Brass from .444 Marlin

By running it through .358 FL then cutting the neck by 50%. It could be done easily for the 336. They did them in .307 and .356. A great idea that should have but did not catch on.

32 Special & 35 Rem just fine for woods ranges, Why fuss?

the 35 Whelen is based on the 30-06 case, way too long

for the Marlin action. The only gun that would have been possible in is the Winchester 1895.

Thw 1895 would be a good candidate.

But as close as I know it got was the .35 Winchester on effectively the .405 type case. It was hotter than the .35 Remington but not quite as potent as the modern .358 Winchester (.35 Whelen Short).

the Marlin 1895 is too short in the action for the 350 GNR

or the 35 Whelen but the 1895 Winchester will work as it was intended for the 30-06 and 405 Winchester.

Yeah, 1895 Winchester

I bet you never even thought of the old .35 Winchester (WCF) when you made up the higher pressure 350 GNR. The old round is lots different in profile and shoulder angle but it is interesting the parallels.

nope, I don't get into the older cartridges at all

When I developed the 378 GNR and it was a success, I started down the next caliber and so on, going to the 350 GNR, then 338 GNR, then 8mm GNR, then 310 GNR and so on. If I had looked at the old 35 Winchester data I probably wouldn't have even done the 350 GNR as the velocities were 400 to 600 fps under what I expected out of the 350 GNR. I know you and Huey like the old stuff but I can't develop and market decent cartridges if I tell the customers it is 400 fps less than a cartridge that was out a hundred years ago.

Out of curiosity, which of the GNR

cartridges is about the same as the .35 Whelen? I have already won $10 on the above question, but now I wonder if there is anything like the Whelen available or maybe I already have the equivalent in my Encores.

350GNR on the 405 case

the 35 Whelen so in theory it should beat it with no problem.

No factory chambering but

RPP (Ranger Point Precision) did chamber the 36 RPP based on the .35 Whelen. They no longer offer smithing services and only concentrate on manufacturing after market parts.
