I am not sure if this is the right place for all of this info. I have a 98 mauser sporter in the said caliber. I have trouble finding ammo which is not all bad because I do enjoy reloading. This is one of the guns chambered back in the wildcat days. The head space is a little long so fire forming brass causes a lot of case stretching. So my procedure is once fired 06 brass ran the a regular 35 whelen sizing die than a lyman m die that a local gunsmith/retired tool maker made to open the neck somewhere around .365 than sized back down with a redding 35 whelen A.I. die to put a false shoulder out far enough for it to push the case head back against the bolt face. Load up some medium loads drive 15 miles blast them out run back home. And finally brass to start loading. The chamber being an improved rules out setting back and re chamber to 35 whelen. I do like the rifle and it shoots good but the brass life is short and the concern of case separation is unnerving. I have considered just buying another rifle that is factory chambered for the 35 whelen cant find them though. I have even considered setting back and re chambering to a tighter 35 improved chamber to match my redding dies that were well over 100.00 bucks but more than likely no one local has that reamer. I like the round it just wears me out. probably never go wildcat again.
