Even a long bullet does not protrude deep into the case as is the case with the 350 which limits its powder charge. I think you might be the limited knowledged one here. 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.
