    You have the Remington .350 Rem Mag it sounds like to me. They have not made ammo for this gun in many years. You will have to do some searching to find some. If interested in selling this gun email me at jmarino69@hancock.net

    The follwing is from Cartridges of the World, by F. Barnes:

    The 350 Rem Mag first appeared in the 1965 Remington Catalog concurrently with the Model 600 Magnum Bolt Action carbine that chambered it. The original carbine had an 18" barrel, but in 1968, this was lengthend to 20" as the model 660 magnum carbine. By 1971, the model 600 and 660 magnum carbines had been discontinued, but the 350 magnum was continued as a standard chambering for the model 700 bolt action rifle until 1974. For a short time the Ruger model 77 bolt action rifle was available in 350 mag. Currently, no factory rifles are regularly chambered for this cartridge, but ammo still is loaded by Remington. The cartridge is unique in having a somewhat short, fat-belted case with somewhat more capacity than the 30-06spr. This allows for its use in short-action rifles that can be made a bit lighter and handier that those based on a standard-length bolt action.

    With bullets of moderate weight, the 350 rem mag can nearly duplicate 35 whelen ballistics in a much shorter barrel and it can be chambered in short bolt action rifles. This is a significant advantage for those preferring a light, handy rifle with plenty of punch. Also, many find the short-throw bolt to be much easier to use and master. For those preferring heavier bullets, the round nose design doesn't take up so much of the powder space and, therfore, can safely develop better muzzle energy. For use where shots will not be long, these may be the best choice. For those with 350 rem mag rifles in full-length actions, heavy spitzers can sometimes safely be seated to exceed nominal 2.80-inch lenght for the cartridge and increased muzzle energy can be achieved. Here though, it is hard to see much advantage over the 35 whelen, which generally feeds smoother from a magazine holding two additional cartridges. The 350 rem mag is adequate for any North American big game at short to medium ranges.

    125hp imr4895@60grs 2850fps/2255e
    158sp imr3031@58grs 2850/2850
    180sp imr4064@62grs 2900/3362
    200sp imr4320@60grs 2700/3238
    220sp imr4895@60grs 2650/3431
    250sp imr4895@53grs 2350/3066
    300sp imr4064@52grs 2300/3525
    200sp Remington Factory 2710fps/3261e

    According to Blue Book:

    Remington Model 600 Magnum was available in 6.5rem mag or 350 rem mag. Has laminated walnut/beech stock with or without recoil pad. Manufactured between 1965-1968. 100%=$975, 98%=$875, 95%=$775, 90%=$675, 80%=$575, 70%=$475, 60%=425

    Hope this helps.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    5 boxes of the 200 grain ammo on the shelf of my local hardware store as we speak. Remington comes out with a special run of some of it's obsolete every couple of years. Heard rumors that they would be making some 5mm Rem. sometime this year. Friend that owns a gun shop in Alberta and is a proof house for Remington says this may be as early as August.

    This firearm is only worth what somebody would be willing to pay for it. This cartridge will do everything that the 35 Whelen will do bullet weight for bullet weight. And it will do it in a 18" barrel.

    My advice would to be by a box of every different ammo you can find, and see what shoots best thru your gun, then buy up all of that particular kind you can find.

    You may also look into a secondary, but keep targets and accurate records, so if you can't find that particular kind any more you can see what the next best thing was.

    And always keep your brass, cause you never know when you might decide to start handloading, or maybe find someone who does.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Overall, its sounds to me that you've recieved a wonderful gift, that you should cherish. Something not as commonly found as other rifles. And something you can use for all kinds of wonderful hunting trips and trophies.

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    The ammo you buy make sure it is original remington brass. I have a 700 classic in the 350 and there is a company that makes 350 remington mag ammo out of different brass. I didn't buy it because it didn't look quite right to me. I'm not saying it would not work, it just did not look right. If you reload there is plenty of brass to be found if you just look a little. If you shoot this gun, you will find that it will have pretty good recoil. If you want to add a reoil pad don't cut the stock. This will hurt the value. This is a great collector to keep and pass down. Few produced in this caliber. Not many left that haven't been ported or cut down and pads added. It's a wonderful find if it's all original.
