Chris,

That makes sense about getting a good working load before adjusting sights.

One of the bullets that you might want to consider is the 200 gr for the 35 Remington. It is fairly close in weight to the standard 196 gr bullet for the 9.3x72R

Also I believe it is a fairly soft bullet; ie, not a high velocity bullet. BTW, Graf's has some in stock.

Best success.
