Is this a new bullet or discontinued?

Those bullets are still available, they've been making them a while. They shot well in 358Win for me. The 200TTSX was a little better from the rifle, but that 180 would be a more than acceptable alternate for me. Someone else posted this link already, but they are still in stock now. https://www.bluecollarreloading.com/products/barnes-35cal-180gr-tsx-fn-fb-31112

Is anyone using these Barnes in a 336? Length okay?
Not seeing data on their site so just wondering where the tested OAL is falling?

Not seeing data on their site so just wondering where the tested OAL is falling? I have loaded 35 Rem ammo using the newer 180gr Barnes TSX FN. My Marlin 336A feeds it flawlessly. The bullet was designed specifically for the 35 Rem and leverguns. Barnes recommends using 180gr bullet load data but starting low.

Still interested in those who may be having luck with this bullet in the 35.

I've been working on load development with the 200 gr Maker Rex bullet. Remington brass, WLR primer, Leverevolution powder. Accuracy has been pretty good but velocity is slow. I'm hoping to get 2,000 fps or so but the bullet takes up so much space I can't get enough power in the case. So far. Powder charge: 37.5 gr = 1877 fps 38.9 gr = 1885 fps 38.5 gr = 1888 fps 39.5 gr = 1883 fps It's interesting that velocity hasn't really changed despite 2 gr powder increase. 39.5 is about the max I can get in the case with this bullet. I have some 8208xbr and H322 on hand so I'll give them a try and see what happens.

Glad to see this thread get kicked up. Never seen those Maker bullets before, they look wicked. Need to try them in my Model 8
