Ran out of brass. Well >>>>>>>>

Wife Seems to have "cleaned up" all my 35 remmington brass.

I have 2 factory remmington core lok 150's left so i have to go the store and restock my supplies.

In a T/C pistol 14 in super factory barrel would you get the 150 remington core loks or the 200 core loks?

I was using a speer 180 handoad but the last one just took a ground hog at 109 paces. I have heard the 150 core loks have sectional density issues and 200 is fairly heavy out of a 14 inch barrel.

Things are tight gas prices are high. Normally i would just buy about 2 or 3 boxes of each and see which one grouped best. Would like to save the extra 16.97 a box for gas money to get me to the Happy hunting grounds.

Mainly these will be whitetails rounds and whitetail practice/groundhog rounds in beans and cornfields.

Thanks in Advance.

I believe the 150 load was made specifically in response to handguns being chambered in 35 Rem, so....I think I'd go with 150's.

As far as I'm aware, Remington stopped manufacture of the 150 grain .358 core-lokt bullets. If you find a source for them, please let me know. If not, another good option for reloading would be the 180 gr hornady ssp.

If you elect to go with the 180 Hornady, the 180 Spire Point (SP) rifle bullet is a better choice than the single shot pistol (SSP)bullet. The single shot pistol bullet has a thick heavy jacket, designed for steel silhouette targets. The rifle bullet is intended for hunting.

I use the 180 SP Hornady in my Martini Cadet with a 16 inch barrel, chambered in 357 SM. It works well on critters and is very accurate. I also use the 200 with good results. However the 180 will give you about 150 fps more velocity and the energy then goes to the 180.

Poking around your reloading bench?

Is your wife a reloader? If not, why's she poking around your reloading set-up?

My wife woulkd be pissed as hell if I 'cleaned up' her sewing machine or artsy crafts.

To answer your question, go with the heavier 180 grn bullets since the .35R only operates at a medium [max] velocity. I've never reloaded for the .35R, but Speer makes a really nice 180 and 220 pointed flat-point bullets in that caliber. Keep in mind that some .358 bullets are designed more for the .35 Whelen or .358 Win than the .35 Rem. After carefully looking at the Speer bullets I'd also consider the Hornady 180 SSP and 200 grn RN.

Nosler makes a .358 caliber 180 grn Partition, too.

150's

If you are shooting the TC handgun then go with the 150's. I use them to good advantage in my 14 in 35 Rem. The 200's are too heavy for good velocity(and expansion) in the 14 in bbl. I even used the 150 CL in my Rem 141 rifle..for deer.

jm don't forget to check gear and gadgets I have a coupon posted for a mail in rebate on two boxes of core lokts (Get $10 back on 2 or $5 back on one by mail) That should help some with the gas money problem.

If ya can't be good be good at it. . . .
