I have both a 35 Remington and a 30-30 in Marlin 336's. Both good shooters too. I have mostly used both on feral hogs and have to say the 35 provides way better blood trails than the 30-30 on them. However I have recovered more bullets from the hogs hit with the 30-30 than the 35. I have not used factory loads on anything from either rifle in years and personally feel the 220 gr. Speer loaded to top book velocities as a step up from the 30-30.
