I've even loaded 158 gr bullets but if I'm gonna do that I'll use my 357 Mag or 357 Max bbl. To be really honest I like the 357 Max better than the 35 Rem anyway. Much easier to load for....and accurate.

I wonder? What were your bullets sized to and what was your alloy. I would have thought that a bullet sized to at least .359" or posibbly .360" and at least as hard as plain wheel weight metal would have worked nicely in your rifle up to and including full power loads.
