Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Remington 760 .35 Remington

Nice score! I have a 760 and a 141 in the safe. My boy wants to shoot a deer with the 760 so I guess I will use the 141. Been a while since either one has seen the field, should be fun.

Thanks Supercub for helping keeping these loads alive. Unfortunately alot of these powders are no longer in production, but it goes to show what can be done with the 35 Remington in a stronger action like the 760. If one were to carefully cross examine and do a little interpolation work it would be possible to make a similar list with newer powders

I'm not sure what you're talking about. It looks like all except 4320 remain in production.

N-202? Um nope. Never heard of it nor do I recall seeing it for sale. And the point is that this data set can be used to derive a new data set with the newer powders. Provided newer data sets still have the old favorites like Win 748 and H335 in the same sections. This would be a project for a true reloading loony while being loosely supervised by a rifle loony

And he lists a newer powder like H4895 in the regular section, but didn't include it in the super section..bummer. Thus no "extreme" powders for temp insensitivity are represented as well as Accurate and Ramshot powders. I've heard good things about Exterminator and Benchmark in the 35 Rem. Maybe Layne can still be tapped to update this list. Provided the liability experts don't find out

Anyone use a 308 mag in these 760s instead of a proper 35Remington mag?

The good thing is Leverevolution will get those super speeds and do it at Matlin pressures. It’s fine stuff in the 35 Remington. And usually very accurate for me as well.

I wound up with my mom's Rem 760 Gamemaster in 270Win. It's got fancy checkering and is in great shape. It's got checkering like this pic below. Any ideas what it's worth? Sadly, I know I'll never use it.

Although I'm not an official Remington fanboy, I do like my Rem 760 in 30-06. I bought it in Germany of all places and kilt my first wild boars with it. I would love one in 35 Rem even though I don't need it. I have a Win M70 FW in 35 Rem that shoots exceedingly well with LVR. I have found no need for SUPER loads but that's probably because I also have a 358 Win and 35 Whelen.

Prices are all over for them JG. I’d guess from 600-1200 depending on the buyer. Looks clean and well maintained. Bet it’ll shoot. I’ve got one myself just not as nice.



Had mine chopped to 20” and it loves 150 PTs.

20" is perfect for those rifles.

Saying that, I would not chop a 760 in 35Remington or other rare chamberings.

The 760s and 742s with the basketweave
" checkering " were called BDLs by Remington.
I've had a couple of the 742s like that.
Not sure if it affects the value or not

I agree. It's one of my favorites.

I would love to have a 760 in 35 but can’t afford them.

I wish I could see LVR get close to those SUPER velocities in 35 rem. My data only goes up to around 2200 compressed. TAC had some hot loads but the pressure was higher than LVR.
That H335 is 6 grains above max load. That has got to be pushing mid 40k's in pressure with velocity that's stomping on 356 and 358 light territory.

2400fps out of a 20" 35 Rem light weight lever gun would be golden

It took a few tries and some file work, but I finally got one to work.

Thanks ... I'd rather use a 308 mag if I can instead of wearing on a 35Rem mag that I am not able to replace.

Understand, when I mention a few tries, that meant I had to try several different magazines before I got one that would work right.

The more I use a 760, the more I realize how overrated they truly are.

LOL .... Those who like the 760/7600s really do like them a lot and those that don't really don't. Not much middle ground on that and largely it depends on where you hunt. They're not that popular out west where the bolt gun rules. Here in the east they do work very well for our hunting and are a dependable alternative to the problematic 740/742/7400s.

I've owned one or more for almost 40 years, and while I do shoot bolt guns more now I do very much like the pump guns. They are accurate, dependable and handle well while being easy to load for. They will take a surprisingly heavy load compared to a lever gun. I've never had any serious issues with any that I've owned. The two big issues with them are the mags will wear out and fail to seat properly in the gun and the forends will rattle. The forend rattle is easy to fix on the 2nd gen 760s with a new O-ring and the mags have been very easy to replace.
