I checked all of my wildcat books with no referance to a 35 Johnson. I did find an internet listing for a 30 Johnson Special, but there was no info at all.
In the hayday of silhouette there were alot of gunsmiths that converted XP's to improved or shortend cases necked up/down to fit the short XP action. The 30 IHMSA comes to mind, it's a 300 Savage case necked down to 7mm. It was an Elgin Gates creation and very popular. There was also a 7mm International that was very close to that, but a little different. Anyway there were alot of these similar cartridges with small variations to the case and the smiths name was applied. He made the dies with the reamer. If the dies come with it you are all set. If there are no die you need to cast the chamber and see exactly what it is and go from there.
The 30BR and the 30DC are another set of cases that come to mind, very similar but the chamber is different.

Sounds like a smith reamed the 35 Rem chamber a little and called it a Johnson. Maybe used 308 brass for the tiny bit of extra length.
I was going to ask what you wanted it for. If the price is right for a project gun go for it. Does it have a custom stock?

Personally I figure anyone with a 35 caliber johnson has a major problem

I've got one on the back of my 16' Lund aluminum boat.
Rod, too.

Guys, On page 476 of Ackleys reload book is a wildcat called the .358 Barnes-Johnson Express. Its a belted case and they compare it to the .358 Norma.This is the only round I could find that has .35 Johnson in its name....

I went thru one of my many silly-wet books and no mention of it. If i do find something I'll let you know. I love a good mystery. .358 Barnes-Johnson Express. Its a belted case and they compare it to the .358 Norma. Sounds like a decent magnum in a big game rifle. Might be a wrist tweaker in a handgun. LOL

Tigger Have fun IV been looking all day. Nothing like bidding on something and dont even know what it is.
I hope its not a 358 barnes-Johnson EX.
I sent the guy a email havent heard back. Someone sujested on another sight it might be a 30-06 necked out.

Someone sujested on another sight it might be a 30-06 necked out. Wouldn’t that be a 35 Whelen? It came out in 1922… LOL Keep posting! It will be interesting to find out what it REALLY is!
