Practicality of the .35 Remington?

[joelblevins]

can you use any other cartridges in the marlin 336 35 caliber

A 158 grain cast round nose .357 pistol bullet and 10 grains of Unique makes a dandy plinking load.

The 35 can only shoot 35 cartridges. But there is a plethora of bullets available to the handloader.

I'm don't know if the 35 Remington is that much more effective than a 30-30.

However, an Alaskan fisherman I personally know, dropped a grizzly during a charge with 2 shots out of his 336 in 35 Rem......pretty effective.

As for the Remington pump, I prefer a much more capable cartridge in the same package, I own a 7600 in 30-06 (and a Rem 740 semi-auto in 30-06 as well).

I do not reload, so for my lever action I did choose the 336 in 30-30....you can find ammo everywhere....not so for the 35 Rem.

I'll admit that 30-30 is more common, but I think that .35 Rem. may be a regional availability. It's pretty common around here in rural areas, just like 30-30 or 30.06.

When I was in my early 20's, I looked for a rifle that would bust brush seeing that I typically hunted in deep woods. I chose the Marlin 336C chambered in .35 Rem. I wasn't sorry. The 200 grain round nose did a fine job from 50 to 100 yards.

Now some 40 years later, my legs ain't what they used to be and I can't traverse the terrain that I used to. Hornady came along at the right time with their Leverevolution line. I bought a box of cartridges and was super impressed. Then I bought a box of bullets and a can of H4895 and reloaded a few with 35 grains. I haven't had a chance to burn them yet, but I will be soon.

Folks at home even sent WWI Regiments Crates of Model 8 Remington Autoloaders in .35 Rem back when one could still do such things

I like the Model 8, but it is kinda heavy to lug around.


Kansas City PD and some others used to get theirs modified for detachable extended Magazines...pretty alright outfit that way.

I have my Dad's Remington 141 in .35 as well as my Marlin 336. Any deer hit with either rifle never went far. One of the law men that stopped Bonnie and Clyde used a Remington Model 8 .35 Rem with a special 15 round clip. He had seen that a Thompson just didn't get the job done when the target was in a car, so he wanted something with more punch.
