Was wondering if any of you fine fellows have a source for new .35 Remington brass? My dies finally arrived today but I still don't have any brass.

I had this link stored from years ago in my favs. It might be time to explore it again for some folks looking for brass.

Dear utvolsfan77:
I made a quick check on Gunbroker.com and there is a lot of. .35 Remington brass offered for sale, albeit at extortion prices. Give Starline Brass @ starlinebrass.com a try. I’ve found them great to work with but the cost will be at market value. Best of luck,

According to the book "Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversion" by John J. Donnelly (ISBN 0-88317-138-4), .35 Remington can be made from .303 British or .30-40 Krag. Trim case to 1.95". Turn rim flush with base and cut new extractor groove. FL size case. Trim and chamfer.

Note: I have not tried this recipe as I don't have a .35 Remington, but I did use this book to successfully convert a lot of 30-30 Winchester to .30 Remington for my Model 8.

Would it be possible to make the 35s out of those cases, they're both rimmed cartridges aren't they? Not arguing just interested. I did read where 35s could be made out of .308 Winchester brass, however the base of the case had to be turned down slightly, and the pressures were a little higher due to the thickness of the brass.
