I waited till now to jump in on the subject. I absolutely love the .35 Remington ! I kills deer like lightning, black bears too, under 200 yards +- . The fine Remington 200 Coreloktd has a lot to do with that I am sure. I started using it in a Remington Model 41 pump in my youth in Penns. I had Remington 41, 141pumps, and Model 8 and 81 Browning semi autos over the years and hunted with them . I killed a Lion with a Model 8 Remington .35 after a stalk in a ranch Donga !
I also have a Marlin .35 336 with tang sight , a T/c Contender super 14 and my favorite little carbine a Remington 600 with a 1-4x Leupold. This bolt action 600 sees special +p+ loadings of the .35 Remington mostly with 180 Speer bullets at 2450 FPS , which means it's a 300 yard deer cartridge and the kick is close to the factory 200 grain 2100 fps load. I paint the case heads red !
The .35 Remington bores a huge hole right thru deer , pretty much every time , surprisingly big for what it is . I enjoyed my first handgun deer hunt with it in early 80s .
I also like the .358 Norma and fooled around with it in my big heavy Hannibal rifle for 35+ years . That gun takes elk sized game as far as is ethical , I never used it on big bear , but I am sure it would be great wit tough 250 grain bullets. I have shot a couple hogs with it at over 400 yards with Barnes copper 250 grain bullets with amazing results. The recoil in the 10 pound Hannibal is not bad at all. Until recently I has less than greatly impressed with long range bullet drag coeffiecents compared to other calibers . The .35 has not had much development in that area , which is a problem for the modern crowd.
I also have a soft spot for the .351 Winchester , of which I have a nice late model Carbine . Yeah it has open sights but under a 100 yards is a gentle blaster with lots of nostalgia.
I have only worked with pistol bullets in the Contender, but they are awesome at over 2000 fps on varmints.
So I like .35 caliber in my own way, once again my 600 Remington Carbine in .35 Rem. will be one of the last to go . It is 1/2" MOA at 100 yards with right loads !!!!
