I shoot the Hornady Leverevolution 200gr factory ammo in my 760 .35 rem.
Have used that bullet in handloads too. Dunno speed, but had professional reloading company up their charge as cases were not sticking in my Contender 16.25".
These were their first trimmed cases to meet Indiana PCR spec ( pistol cartridge rifle- IN does not have a straight wall case mandate ).
The next batch was warmer
Shot a doe at 50 yards. Wanted to see bullet upset so angled it in on front shoulder (treestand, deer quartering to, deer down in creekbottom, stand on ridge).
That bullet never exited. It hit bone and never punched the diaphragm. Did dink rib on offside, or a chunk of it did. I got about half of the fragments. Wound channel was like a 1-1.5" grinder went through.
Deer hit ran 50 yards and bounced off a tree dead. Dressed 130#.
Next was 75 yarder on a buck that dressed 175#. It was shot from the ground, clipping onside shoulder at rear, and exited opp shoulder front. He went 75 and piled up.
Wound channel was nothing spectacular. Good but gee whiz, its a .35 cal at contact.
170# buck shot running away, from stand. Contact was top of hip at 40 yards. Was trying to hit him at top of shoulders/neck. That bullet plowed through a backstrap to the neck. Wiping out one whole side of backstrap. Deer dropped at the shot and took another that went top of heart. I dug in the dirt for that one and never did find it.
2nd shot wound channel was like that of prev buck. OK but nothing great.
Last buck was 180# dressed, shot was 25 yards, from a stand, front of shoulder/neck pocket. Deer dropped stone dead. Wound channel was nothing spectacular, never did find bullet. I put some effort into trying to find it. Was not in offside, so must been in the gutpile.
Reports have been the 200gr FTX doesn't expand at .35 rem speeds. I don't really think it needs to being .35 cal. However that one doe, that bullet fragmentation, was a bit startling.
Dead is dead and it seems to work pretty well for me, so it's gonna be very hard to leave the 760 at home. Have a new to me .308 and a new/never blooded .30-06.
In the woods the smaller/lighter 760, and shots being under 75 yards.......the boom instead of roar, mild recoil............yeah, the .35 rem is kinda neat.
