As yiou can see the the 35 Rem. is a heck of a cartridge that just hasn't got the press as the new thumpers...Its reputation is built from the woods not the pen.. with modern powders and bullets made just for the 35 Rem. velocity..it makes a heck of a combo light fast operating carbine that will take care of bussiness..I like the way the 35 Rem. CL functions and the 180 gr. Speer..The 180 gr. Speer my seem light but it is long and constructed well.
I have a couple of 336's in 35 Rem. and with the right bullet at the right Vel. it is wonderful Black Bear medicine..and they are big here..a 550lb..was taken less than 5 miles from my place.
