So, there's this "old" cartridge called .35 Remington, that would only have to be trimmed 0.120" to be legal......
(If I understand the discussions on several forums properly; it's a case length requirement, not an OAL requirement.)
And if it has to be a wildcat, you can have a machinist/gunsmith stamp the barrel ".35 Remington Hairball" or ".35 Remington-Midget"... or anything else you want.

Call me lazy, but I'd rather trim .35 Remington brass, than rechamber and reconfigure an entire rifle, pay for custom dies, and deal with an absolute wildcat for nothing more than skirting a law that's guaranteed to change again.
