My point was why go to an oddball bullet designed for a different caliber
Well technically it’s the same caliber (.358) but designed for a rifle cartridge. Being of a tapered, rifle design however it is a better design balistically and might offer some improvement in some rifles as a hunting round - potentially better accuracy also. If nothing else a fun reloading experiment.
OK, I can understand that. .357 does suffer from being such a blunt profile when trying to reach out past a 100 yds or more.

Yea been wanting to try this for years if I ever stumbled on a box of the 180 .35 Rem bullets. Nothing I would ever spend the energy on mail ordering a box since I cant find them locally but who knows - I might just do it one time!
