.350 Rem Mag reloads?

[TheeBadOne]

I've made my mind up to pick up a .350 Rem Mag (most likely a 673). Anyone reload this thumper? What issues have your found? Favorite loads? I would not shoot anything under 200 grains, and probably would stick to 225 grainer's. No premium bullets needed (plan on using it on large white-tails).

My load for the .350 is 57 grains of IMR 4320 with Winchester magnum primer and a 225 grain Nosler Partition. I have two .350's , both 700's one is a Classic the other a custom 700 that I had put together. They both shoot great, obviously the custom better than the Classic. You will surely like the .350 it is an excellent round that for some reason is not real popular. I suspect that is because when it was brought out it was in a short barreled carbine. Recoil was pretty rough from what I've read. My .350's do recoil but not what I would consider unpleasant. It is a real thumper in the woods. A perfect deer,bear or hog gun in my opinion. I hope to someday hope to go moose hunting and I'll have to give the .350 some serious consideration. But, being a bit of a gun nut I could probably come up with a reason to acquire a .375 H&H. I've always had a bit of a hanker'in for one of those.

When I first started getting things together to start loading the .350 I bought a box of 200 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. I thought it odd that it said 35 Whelan instead of just .358 on the box. I soon found out that the Ballistic Tips were too long to use in the .350 Rem Mag. They would not fit in the magazine, too much OAL. I ended up giving them to a buddy who has a 35 Whelan, but all was not lost he bought me a twelve pack of brewery treats to say thanks. Nice gesture, I didn't want anything for them and they were'nt going to do me any good sitting on the bench.
