[QUOTE="nvschütze, post: 1827929, member: 110896"] The .35 Newton looks like it could very well be formed from the .375 Ruger. The .525" head diameter is inconsequential; the .530" of the Ruger will do just fine. A possible problem is the case length of the Newton; The Ruger is very close to the same length. A bit of compromise on the length may well have to be made. No problem with the shoulder angle: Custom forming dies can fix that question without too much fuss. Looks to me like a wildcatter could cobble-up a 99% Newton and be once-again shooting a legendary classic cartridge. Only he would know the minuscule differences in his and the genuine article... The .375 Ruger is 2.580" long. The .35 Newton is 2.520" long. A wildcatter could [I]absolutely[/I] form the .35 Newton from the .375 Ruger. The extra 1/16" of the Ruger's length is [B]g[U]olden![/U] [/B]Would require a new reamer to open-up the base datum diameter and cut the shoulder, but you'd be so close to the original dimensions that a real rifleman could take tremendous pride in owning and shooting such a cartridge from so many decades ago...
