Long live the 35 Remington
#258582 - 04/01/15 01:20 PM

I picked my third 336RC Marlin in 35 Remington and took it to the range to check for accuracy, I was not disappointed.
I did some fast shooting at 80 yards with some handloaded 200 grain Hornady RN, the last 4 shots plunked into a 3/4 inch ragged hole.
The 336 is scoped with 4x Scopechief IV with a flip up Command Post, this will be my spring short range bear gun.
I tried some longer ranges up to about 200 yards with the 35, even though the velocity was just under 2000 fps, the bullets landed only a couple of inches lower than where I aimed.
I see no handicap hunting big game at sensible distances with the 35 Remington, a very under estimated and under appreciated cartridge.

.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.

I have 20 or so pieces of .35 brass here.
No rifle.

You guys are making my mouth water for an iron skillet full of black bear.

I have a 35 rem. in a marlin I think it's 1952 vintage. Not drilled for scope, am going to leave it as is. Shoots the new leverevalution ammo really well. Picked it up on a trade a couple of years ago. Al

Haven't seen a decent 336 in 35 remington down here worth the money to take it home. Good news is that I have dies, loaded ammo, and brass for when the day comes. Frank

I have two Remington Model 30's in that caliber and really like the cartridge and the rifles. I have been looking for a 30-S in .35 Rem for years, but no luck so far.

I have a Remington Model 8 and an 81 in 35Remington. I stupidly sold a Remington C-Grade Model 14 in that caliber a few years back.

I don't hunt anymore, haven't for many years. They are just range toys for me. But they will do anything needed at reasonable ranges.
It never ceases to amaze me at the number of perfectly fine calibers that go into the dust bin over the years. Experts spouting off about how those older numbers have lost the ability to place their projectile on the target anymore and if they do will bounce off what they hit..

Now, a .35 Rem on a M54 or M660 or M788 solid walnut, of course, would really be nice.
