Lee does not make a Factory Crimp die for the .35 Whelen...
Case is longer, Shoulder Angle is different...But...Could a Crimp Die for the .358win be adjusted to work??

Re: Factory Crimp Dies
With about a half inch of washers .
I think a proper spacer could be made for one also . There should only be the crimp points touching the case and a short contact on the neck as a balance point . The neck is longer but the shoulders are close to the same diameter . You would need a spacer equal in length to the difference in case length give or take for actual case length .
It's a low volume item , but , a 350 Remington mag might be available seems like it was the same as the Win Mags at 2.55 case length so you'd have to lap .06 off the base but then there's no parts to lose .
Also a 9×57 might be available and would only need about .25 for spacers . 35s are hard there's only a few .
