Well, the little Marlin 35 Remington barked at it's first head of game in my hands this morning at 8 a.m. over in Arkansas, a beautiful mature 8pt buck deer was working a hillside under a stand of white oaks, 153 yards away the 220 gr Speer busted straight through both shoulders, it put his face in the leaves and he took off like a football lineman pushing himself with his back legs.
He stopped in some brush with only his raised hams exposed, I gave him one through both hams, down he went for keeps, a hell of a fun hunt on a breezy 26 degree Arkansas morning.
You guys are right about the 35 Remington and the 220gr Speer bullet, what a combo, that big bullet will really go to work and show it's stuff on nilgai and cow elk.
