Several years ago I put an F14 Adams and Bennet barrel in 7x57 on a Turkish action. I'm sure there's another like it in the world but I haven't heard of it yet. I call it a 34-57 since I like the old black powder designation. Without touching the feed rails this thing feeds slicker than a minnows lip. If I had went 35 I would have to buy molds, check, sizer, dies, brass etc. The only reason I went with 338x57 was that I had everything to build this gun but the barrel. I could easily go faster but recoil is starting to rear its head and it handles deer with authority. I shoot an accurate 34-200BM or the Lee 220 gr to about 1900 fps. Reamed the chamber with a 338-06 reamer up to the the old shoulder. The action makes for a nice conversion but I did all the work myself except for the last rebarrel. I then rebarreled using a new 2 groove 'A3 barrel and chambered it in my own. The barreled action was bedded in a Richard's Micro Fit stock. 308W, Shot that barrel out and rebarreled with another Star (became Shaw) barrel in. I D&T'd it for scope and receiver sights, forged the bolt handle, added a scope safety, converted it to cock on opening and barreled it with a Star 24' barrel in. I picked up an Oveido M1916 action back in '69. They were very pleased with the cartridge. I have done these conversion to 35x57 on 3 SR Mausers for others. The formed 35x57 cartridges have the Mauser case taper so they feed w/o any action alteration of the rails.ДЄgain, the cases are easily made and being totally non factory you control the psi level. No expensive dies are needed.standard Whelen dies are easily shortened. The really nice thing, other than it is a great cast bullet cartridge, about the 35x57 is there is no factory cartridge with attendant pressure to worry about.ДЄ standard low cost, easy to rent 35 Whelen finish reamer is used to finish ream the chamber to headspace on the cases you form.Д¬ases are easily formed from 35 Whelen or 30-06 or by using 8x57 cases.Дies are standard 35 Whelen dies that have been shortened so the shoulder of the 8x57 case (or 35 Whelen '06 shortened to 57mm) is set back just enough so the longer 35 Whelen neck is formed. However, were I to rebarrel a 1916 Oviedo to 35 caliber I would get the Shilen short chambered 35 Rem barrel with a 14' twist and chamber it to the 35x57 cartridge. I push that cast bullet at 2150 fps in the bolt gun. It is a sweet shooting rifle and deadly on deer with the RCBS 35-200-FN.

I rebarreled a M91 Argentine using a Brownell's Shilen 26' barrel pre-threaded and short chambered. Yes the 35 Rem would be a suitable cartridge.
