The 200g Rem. SP is what is in the factory load. It works well on deer sized animals and pigs. The 200g Hornady SP is probably a little bit tougher bullet. The Hornady 200g FTX as stated above is designed for the .35 Rem. lever action. I've use the Speer 180g FP in my Marlin .35 Rem. with good results on a few deer but the 200g RN both Rem and Hornady seem to have better on game performance. I even loaded some of the old Hornady 180g SSP designed for the Contender in .35 Rem in my Whelen. Got a complete pass thru on a deer shot thru both lungs. There were, however, bit of jacket scattered all over the the inside of the ribs on the exit side. I'm hording my Barnes 200g 1stGen XFB's. Those were amazing in my Whelen. I'd expect the current Barnes offering to be equally as devastating.
