I've been reloading and shooting the 35 Remington for about 3 years. I warm it up a bit to 2150 with Sierra 200 grain soft points. I've only killed one deer with it but it thumps them hard. It makes a steel target dance at 200 yards too.
The 35s one weakness is that little pissant shoulder. If you don't have your sizing dies just right, you'll have chambering problems or short brass life. The buck Hammer solves that problem with essentially the same ballistics and you get a rim to boot.
I hope the cartridge catches on because there's an awful lot to like about it.
