I have become a sucker for 35 caliber rifles. I may need help!

As I am sitting here at home recovering from rotator cuff surgery I get to playing around on gunbroker. And would you know it our old friend Jess has a old Remington 30S in 35 Whelen listed. I fought it off for 36 hrs then gave in.

I love old guns like this.

I shot my friend's Ruger # 1 in .35 Whelen , 40 degree, ACK improved yesterday at the range. It is a shooter ! !

I fired the NOE 230 gr. RF. , sized .358 ", with 13 grs. of Unique.
5 @ 50 yards.

Ben,
Yes, it is a JES re-bore. I am a sick puppy.

Great snag.Recover soon and give a report on your new 35.

I have been researching the 30s rifle today and I think I am going to like it. I'd rather have one blue/walnut rifle than 3 plastic stocked guns. But I do own 4 plastic stocked rifles/pistols.

I am researching loading data too. Between recovery and more rain there is nothing else to do.

Come to think of it I have 35 cal guns...but they have very short barrels..like 6"

You'll love that piece..civilian US 1917...

If I can shoot, I shoot...........if I can't,
I make targets , cast and reload.

Ben,
I will certainly try that load. I cast, load or shoot right now and I start PT Wednesday. I ripped my rotator cuff and biceps tendon taking out the trash.

Here's wishing you a quick and uneventful rapid recovery with zero complications.

Best to you Malcolm,

I've found that shooting my 35 Whelem is beneficial to my bad shoulder! Feels great afterward. Hope it works out for you, too! Get better fast!

I have one Marlin 35 Rem. I have to seriously restrain myself any time I see another one. And if I ever see a 760 em in 35, it will be over... I fully understand!

Congrats on the JES rifle. Hope it shoots lights out for you. I too love the light unique loads in my whelen. I load 12 gr. behind a noe 360009 pb in my 1/14" twist. 1275 fps., easy on the shoulder, and just stupid accurate.
