.35 always was a good round, one surprisingly popular in around the Perry Sound area back in the late 60's.
Stopped into a gun shop "up there" in 68, I think, or 69, bear hunting we were. I had my 6.5 Rem Mag with 140gr. Sierras about 2,900fps. The old guy behind the counter, laughed and said I needed a "Winchester .38-55 or one of them new .35 Marlins - good bear rifles, they are".

I have a black bear Trail Boss load for my .375/06IMP running 310gr. FN gas checked bullet at 1,385fps - might see about collecting a spring bear here with it, this year.

Your .35 is perfect, of course.
