Didn't expect anyone to commit to paper so not surprised not getting any responses.

I used 30-30 load data as a starting point because of the similarity in case capacity, with the 35 Rem being slightly larger. Started working with 24 gr IMR 4198, benchrest primners, with 110 jhp and 125 jhp .357 bullets. Both loads chronographed in the 1500-1550 fps range and were very light in recoil. Obviously no signs of chamber pressure issues. Groups were 5-1/2 to 6" high to point of aim at 50 yards (barrel/scope sighted in at 100 yds with factory LeveRevolution 200 gr Hornaday FTX). The 110 gr group was 2.5" and the 125 gr group was 2", with both bullet weights shooting to nearly the same point of impact.

I bumped powder charges to 26 gr still with IMR 4198 and darned if the chrony didn't quit working. The reccoil was on the light side of moderate and the only sign of pressure issues was primer set-back. The primers weren't flattened and did not flow/crater. Going to try these loads again when chrony is repaired. Also going to work up a load with Reloader 10x.

More to come later.
