Anybody have any experience with 200 gr hornady spire point in 35 Remington? I’ve got an old pump Remington and was wondering if that bullet would work at those velocities. It shoots the 200 RN well but I’m about out and have a box of the spire points on the bench. Thx.

I've shot them in Remington Model 8/81s with no problem. I have only shot 3 deer with them but the deer died quickly. I did not see any significant difference between the round nose and the spire points but we are also talking about a 35 caliber hole which is kind of large to begin with.

Why? The Remington 150's always worked well in the 14/141's.

Yes indeed. Those rifles aren't limited to round nose bullets.

Interesting on the old pump remingtons spiral. Now I want one!
Doe the ponted 35 cal bullet have a tougher wall because its designed to expand at higher velocities than the round nose used in 35 Rem? do the bullet manufacturers give guidance on this?
I'm curios because I have a rem 600 in 35 rem, but found it like hornady leverevolution ammo so much that I haven't thought of reloading for it. Plus my reloading gear is in boxes.

Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

I always thought the spiral magazines on the 14/141 were for pointed bullets. I was just sharing info I saw posted on the Remington Society web site that strongly suggests RN to avoid feeding problems. If you have found bullets other than RN working well in your 14/141, that is great! Good hunting to you all.

I’ve used the Hornady 200 grain FTX in my Remington 141 - they shoot wonderfully and work well on whitetails.

Has anyone tried non-lead projectiles in their 35 Remington 141 ?

I think that is going to be long enough to rob a bunch of powder space...not to mention the 35 Rem won't get it going fast enough for optimal performance. If someone made a 180gr...maybe?

I have used the Maker 200 gr Lever-REX in my Marlin. Very accurate and lethal on one hog so far. It is designed specifically for the 35 Rem. https://makerbullets.com/products.php?cat=3&scri=52

My buddy shoots the Barnes in his CVA Hunter and Rem 760. Popped a 154" net a couple yrs back w the Barnes he did. Took 3 steps. I shoot the Hornady factory ammo in my 760.

My son shot a Rm 7600 chambered in 280 Rem. 140 gr SGKs without an issue and it was stupid accurate. No feeding problems.
The OP hasn't posted what model he has.

I used to use the .358" 200 gr. Hornady SP in a 350 Rem Mag on black bear until two back to back poor experiences due to poor penetration. I would expect this bullet to work fine on deer at either 350 Rem Mag or 35 Rem velocities.

the 14/141's are more picky about COL than they are about bullet type. i have shot the FTX's in my pumps just to see if they work ok in case i need to but i use the 200 CL's exclusively. i haven't found a better round in the pumps than the 200 CL and i own better than a dozen of them. my son uses the FTX's in his 336.

I shoot the 200gr. Hornady Inter-lok RN in my .35 Whelen, very accurate and penetration and expansion are excellent. It is my go to bullet in the Whelen for whitetail hunting.

I like 200 gr RN Sierra as fast as a 35 Rem can push it with IMR 3031
