.350 Rem. Mag. Extended Ballistics (to 1,000 yd)

At 1,000 yards, .350 Rem. Mag. (225gr at 2550 fps, 100 yd zero, standard conditions) has a modeled come-up of about 46.8 MOA / 13.6 MIL, retaining 1066 fps (subsonic).

Extended predictions beyond 500 yards are modeled from the same G1 engine — useful for initial DOPE, but outside the 500-yard manufacturer-table validation audit. Confirm with observed DOPE, especially near transonic.

Hunting Energy Reference

A retained-energy reference only — not a shoot/don't-shoot distance. Real effective range depends on your accuracy, shot placement, bullet construction, and conditions. The ~1,000 ft-lb (deer-sized) and ~1,500 ft-lb (elk-sized) figures are commonly cited rules of thumb, not standards.

Data & Sources

Your barrel, ammunition lot, and conditions will differ — always verify against the manufacturer's data and your own rifle.

Overview

The .350 Remington Magnum is known as a hard-hitting, short-range woods cartridge that packs magnum-class energy into a compact, quick-handling rifle. Driving heavy .35-caliber bullets, it excels on large, heavy-bodied game such as elk, moose, and black bear at moderate distances, where its high-mass bullets transfer energy decisively. Its trajectory falls off faster than modern long-range magnums, so it is best suited to timber and brush hunting rather than open-country shots, and recoil is stout given the light carbines it was designed around. Though it was never a strong commercial seller and factory ammunition remains limited, it retains a devoted niche among handloaders and hunters who value serious stopping power in a short, portable package.

History

Remington introduced the .350 Remington Magnum in 1965 for its short, lightweight Model 600 carbine. It was formed from a belted magnum case of the Holland & Holland lineage, shortened to fit a short action and necked to .35 caliber (.358-inch bullets), so it could deliver big-bore power through a compact short-action rifle. Early sales were weak and it was dropped as a regular factory chambering in 1974, but it developed a loyal following and was later offered in rifles such as the Model 700, keeping the round in production.
