Why did Marlin Decide to Chamber 35 Rem. in the 336?

[entropy]

My dad's gun was a .35 Remington pump.

I think it was a Minnesota law- Your deer camp had to have at least 1 .35 Remington pump or auto, 1 .30-30, either Win. or Marlin, 1 milsurp of some sort (in our camp it was an Enfield) , and at least 1 Winchester 100 or a Remington 740 or 742. I had the 742.

The 348 Winchester is a heck of cartridge.. only housed in the the 95 Winchester ...

I think the .348 Winchester was only ever in the Model 71 which I’m sure had the same strength or better than the 1886 it was based on. The 450 Alaskan rebores are apparently the most fun you can have with your pants on.

The 348 Winchester is a heck of cartridge.. only housed in the the 95 Winchester ... Its a longer cartridge more similar to the 35 Whelen..
To long to be housed in a 336

But Winchester came out with 94BB action which was heftier than the 94 action ... had the ability to handle higher pressure cartridges , In that action Winchester had the
375 Winchester.. Basically a high pressure version of the 38-55 ...

307 Winchester .. Imagine a 308 Winchester with a flatnose bullet seated deeper

356 Winchester.... Imagine the 358win with a flatnose bullet that is seated a bit deeper ,,, basically matched the 348win (almost) with LVR powder .. can be done

444 Marlin ,, great light package , first Black Levergun package Black synthetic stock , offering

I owned all above ..

The most promising Winchester offering never made it off the drawing board .. ( I heard they had a few made for testing)
The 400 Winchester... .400 bullets straight walled case ...

Marlin housed the 356, 375 in the 336..
I owned those also

Marlin came out with the 308 Marlin
and 338 Marlin useing LVR powder and Hornady polymer pointed bullets took the tube fed Leverguns in a new realm ... But Remington took over a Bamm ...

Now Henry is in the mix , Henry Long Ranger in 243 Win , 308 Win and 6.5 Creedmoor....
I heard through the grape vine a 338 Federal or a 358 Winchester...

I have been debating on having a JES rebore on one of my 336's. Can't really decide on a 375 Win or a 356 Win

348 was only in the 71, not the 95.

You have heard of the 405 Winchester. Most nasty levergun round they ever chambered.

I miss typed aka brain fart ...
You are right 71

Folks, let's not derail a good thread by dragging it off topic. If your post or posts were removed it is because it was causing drift.

JES will rebore a 30-30 to the wildcat
35-30 ... I have seen it mentioned in a few threads ...
But I have always wondered why Winchester never chambered the
35 Rem in the 94 ?

Im glad to see Henry is though...

Federal is coming out with a line of Levergun ammo ... called
Hammer Down
The 35 Rem is included

LOL. It must be so.

Ooooo... I sure hope they make the bullet they are using in the 35 rem available as a component bullet. I would love a 200 grain non round nose bonded bullet for my 358 yeti. I have a 35 remington too so I guess if its a factory ammo only bullet and the ammo is reasonable I can still get in on the party.

They haven't released any info on the 35 Rem .. In the past Federal loaded a 200gr RN in the 35 Rem .. Federal may use the Speer 180gr FN or 220gr FN. .. Both are tough bullets ..
We can only wish

They are useing a 170gr in the 357mag offering !!!

Reeds Ammo actually loads the 35-30

If a fellow going to handload 35 Rem
He might as well load 35-30 ..

The info I read on the product line said they were using bonded bullets so I'm guessing these will be fusion bullets, aka speer gold dot. I hope they release the 170 grain as a component bullet too, I have a 357 maximum to eat those!

I have a Marlin 336C since 1970. It was bought new and it's used for deer and bear. If I want to live, I can never sell it, my wife bought it for me for our first Christmas.

Why they chose the .35 Rem caliber, you'll have to ask them. Otherwise, it's all speculation. It does work well for the intended use.
