I do believe I'd shoot that in my .357 Herrett and even use it for deer in my beater .35 Whelen. I know lots of shooter use heavier bullets in .35 caliber for deer, but I doubt you'd ever recover one of these from a deer shot at any normal angle.Here is what I've come up with and Tom has drawn up and put in his catalog. Many thanks to several people who helped me out!View attachment 39796
I assume you have received your mold by now.I have a mold being made as we speak. Depending when I get it I'm hoping to test before I have shoulder surgery. Thanks!
That's why I am thinking of ordering one of these from Tom myself.it'd be just about perfect in that contender.
Its not terrible difficult to modify the Marlins to allow them to feed longer nosed bullets. Mine now can feed my favorite the 358429. Seated to its crimp groove. Shoots mighty fine over 10g of Blue Dot too I might ad!I've shot the Saeco 354 in my Marlin carbine for many years, and it has just short enough nose to function with 1.605" OAL.
