I shot one of my deer last year with my Remington 141 in 35 caliber. I may try it again this year. I used an old 200 grain Core-Lokt, but I also have some 220 grain Speers and some 180 grain Speers too.. I user the 220s years ago from another 35 Rem I had, that one being a marlin 36. I killed 7 deer with them. Had no complaints at all. Maybe I'll try the 180s.
Anyone out there ever use the Speer 180 grain 35s?
I started hunting in 1947 in the NC area of Pa when i was 12 years old.
In 1949 i had a brand new model 141 Rem in 35 Rem.
It was bought at a store in Bristol Pa on a layaway plan for $104.95, alot of money in 1949.
I used 200 gr bullets in it and killed several nice bucks.
When the 760 model was introduced i decided i wanted one mainly because of the detachable magazine.
After a couple years i found a very nice used one at Paul Yeagers gun store in Jenkintown Pa.
I traded the 141 on the 760 in 30/06 which had a Weaver K2.5 scope on it, my first ever scope.
But the 30/06 760 was not nearly as accurate as my model 141 was, and when Savage introduced the lefty bolt 110 model i sold the ( thrashing machine ), and got one of those.
Most guys were happy with hitting a 5 gallon bucket at 100 yards in those days. lol
