    Greetings All,
    I think one of the problems with the .35 calibre is that most US rifles have slow twist barrels. This does not allow the use of high BC projectiles and without them they do not beat the same cases in .30 calibre by much at all. The .358 Win mostly had a 12 inch twist but lacked capacity and the .350 Rem Mag and .35 Whelen, I think, had 16 inch twists. Consequently few high BC projectiles are made.
    Regards Grandpamac.
