I've got an old Ballard-rifled, '55 straight grip RC that shoots real well. The 35 is a surprisingly good cartridge when loaded to the potential of the rifle itself,
I have my dad's '54 336RC in 35 Rem. I believe its also Ballard rifled. I take it for a walk in the deer woods at least once a year. Slick handling little snap shooter with the Lyman receiver sight on it.
