Two of the best bullets out there simply challege the 350 good as it is (225gr AB 250gr PT). 35 Whelen, 358 Win, 35 Rem and no 350rem nor do I want or need one.
lol i have two 350's and 3 whelens and ive mixed and matched and shot and recovered bullets( from the ballistics buffalo) and there is no differance AT all in either when matching weight for weight of any bullet ive tried and velocity is never more then 20-30fps differance either. thye 350 just does it in a shorter case and chambered in rifles more handy then most whelens....

and fior the record i hvant found that EITHER of my 350s (M7 and 673) to not be able to use any bullts my whelens can....
