You still run into hunters using .35's in the Adirondacks and Catskills occasionally. I had one many years ago and was somewhat underwhelmed with it's performance after a few seasons. I had read for years how it was much more effective on deer sized game than my old faithful .30-30 and simply did not find that to be the case. With .30-30 ammo being much more available and about half the price of .35's, I sent it down the road.
