5/35smc

check out www.saubier.com

and look for a tread heading,another cartridge we cant live without) should be on 1st or 2nd page

good review with lots of info
 
I've never shot one. I've only read the website and several self-promotional articles about the cartridge. One article by a non-biased author reported only average to mediocre accuracy. The 5X35 is just a .20BR with a slightly bulged shoulder, that's all. Velocity is the same as the .20BR, and it's no more accurate. Read the website and you'll see there's a lot of BS on there.
 
I believe a 20 caliber 35mm case based on the BR would be over-bore. A better cartridge is the 20 PUP which has proven itself to be extremely accurate. It is basically a 20 Waldog,22 Waldog, 20 Pup, get it?) Here is a photo of one alongside the 6.5 Fat Cat.

To be realistic, the 20 PPC will do everything that the 5/35 SMC and 20 PUP can do and making cases is a lot easier. JMHO

What sort of velocities and so on do you get with the Pup?

I am wondering if it is worth the extra effort of case forming as compared to the 20 PPC which should be about as hassle free as it gets.

Thanks
