How fare will a marlin 35 kill a deer at
They are generally considered a brush gun (read close range) but the new Leverlution ammo is supposed to extend that quite a bit.

Another alternative I could suggest to you is a model 1894 in .44 magnum. A .44 can do anything a .35 remington can do and ammunition is even more plentiful.
Where are you getting these numbers? What PSI are these loads working at? Looking at my Speer manual, the .35 Remington can safely push a 220 grain bullet to 1900fps. That's 1760 footpounds. My .44 with a 240 grain bullet at 1800 fps is 1725 footpounds. With some of my hot handloads I've pushed a 240 grain bullet at 1900fps. Looks about equal.In terms of pure power no...the 35 Rem is a 2000 ft/lb cartridge...the Heavt 35 Remington 220 gr. load from Buffalo Bore can reach 2300 ft/lb.

My brother has a Big Bore 94 in .375 Win. it`s a HOG !I'll take the .356 in a pre-safety Big Bore 94. Always wanted one. As for ammo, I'd just buy 500rds of brass and dies from Midway and call it a day. Add an expander die for using cast bullets.
