Have had both of these rifles for many years, and have used them interchangeably for Short to Mid range "woods" deer hunting. Both Marlin model 336s
Ive never given thought to performance advantages of each, just really thought they are "basically the same". Speculated that the 35 remington might be a better if you have to "shoot through sticks and brush" if needed, but i havnt done that stupid stuff since i was a teenager.
I feel like a 30-30 creates a slightly better wound, where the 35 makes a slightly bigger hole, but not as much damage, less mushrooming of bullet and a little deeper penetration.
I think ive answered my own question here, but maybe theres more input out there..... I feel like this is like comparing 40 s&w to 45ACP, could go in circles forever...also, never are these guns fired past 100 yards, nor do i care how they perform past that range.
I have a 300 WSM for open stands, probably more range, power and accuracy there than id ever need for whitetail deer, but its a great round for stopping deer in their tracks (300 WSM). Works every time
