What would be needed to actually make a 35 Grendel, aka Gremlin in ar15 format?
1. 35 caliber AR blank barrel and reamer for 35 Grendel (Gremlin).
2. Grendel full length bushing sizing die drilled out to .357+.015+.015 = .387, .380 to .385 bushing for die.
I looked on Midway and bushings seem to max out at .368. Darn.
Thinking out side the box, how about a 357 mag carbide die to reform the neck and a Grendel body die to push back the shoulder?

Edit: You would also need a 35 caliber expander to make 35 cal from 6.5 mm. Maybe a few expanders to get there in steps.
It should work OK. Who could make the barrel on a group buy?
This could be the rebirth of the 35 Gremlin.
