With the '52 Marlin, Leverevolution and Hornady 200gr. RN are showing promise. I'll probably use it this season. This load was in Remington brass with Win. LR primers.

Buddy of mine has been looking and got me looking as well for the Leverevolution powder and we have not been able to find it. Where are y'all finding it? He is wanting to try it in his 336 30-30. Thanks
By the way, a 336 in 35 Rem. is on my list of "want guns" and fairly high up that list as a mater of fact.
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

When I guided black bear hunters I always carried a model 8 in 35 Rem for backup. You never know how a "slick" will react if a bad shot is made or wanting to be three ridges over when I had to track a cripple. I have yet to find a better close range brush gun that can spit out five 200 grain slugs faster. My model 8 has a red fiber optic front sight with a Lyman peep and works excellent in dark timber, brush or fading light.

Anyone try the TSX 200 grainer for the 35 Remington?

Anyone try the TSX 200 grainer for the 35 Remington? I have shot a few into wet newspaper. They didn't expand. I now shoot the Barnes TSX FN 180gr bullet they designed for the 35 Rem. It expands nicely!

I’ve got a 1951 Marlin 336 SC. I absolutely love hunting with that rifle.

Just opened that link, I cast that exact same bullet. 1100 fps, was that out of the 357 Max? Seems all your rounds can shade that by a lot. Did you use Blue Dot to get that velocity?

Rick, I use that bullet in my 357 Max rifle with Viht Tin Star powder. I built that load for my son but had to test it for myself. He shot his first deer last year with it. This year he's 10 and shooting full power jacketed loads from his Maxi. He took down a 130lb buck using the 180gr Barnes TSX FN at 1980 fps last week.

Amazingly Hodgdons lists data giving a 10 inched barreled Max 1700 fps with a 200 grain cast bullet and more than 1800 fps with a jacketed bullet! Talk about efficient! I am going to try to stick with cast this year for all my hunting. Rainy crappy days I will take the AR15 350 out and nice days the Marlin 35 Remington.
