I've had good accuracy results with my cast Saeco #352 which drops a 245gr FP gas-checked design. It's an excellent bullet for the Whelen, but I also tried it in the 760 35 Remington. Motivation provided by 38.0grs of IMR-4895 and they clocked 2100fps. I've also shot 250gr Hornady RN Interlocks, but that's a tougher bullet and I didn't try for more than 2050fps. I just wanted to see if 2000fps was possible with a 250gr in the Rem. Yep it is, and maybe a bit more with something like LVR, but it's not on the radar for further consideration.

Like you I'll opt for another chambering if more HP is necessary. Lately I've enjoyed load development for a 9.3x57mm mauser. That shoves a 286gr at the same speed as a standard 35 Remington and 200's.

Scored an n.i.b condition KV barrel code ( May 1979) at Cabelas on Thursday.
She's in perfect condition, 100% finish on ALL surfaces.
Still tacky with whatever goop Illion put in them back in the day.
Paid a pretty penny for her, but with condition, caliber and being the last of her kind...
Would post pics, but the attachment manager isn't playing nice... Congratulations!! I’ve been looking for a 760/35r for two years now to no avail. I’ve been a day late, dollar short once or twice. I do have a CVA SS 35rem, it’s my south Louisiana “muzzleloader”. Two hundred yards and in, it pole axes the deer. 2.5” high at 100y, 0 at 200y, 4.5” low at 250y.... Please post some pics for us to drool over, Merry Christmas! peak98 I saw a 35 rem 760 the other day for sale in a gun shop.. came with 2 mags. Anyone interested get ahold of me

Love them. This is the one I use, a 1979 35 Rem. Shoots under an inch routinely with 200 Rem RNCL's and a stout load of H4895. Runs 2325-2350. Picked it up late summer 2020 for a steal, out of a shop no less. Killed 2 buck and a doe with it so far. Didn't kill a buck with it last yr as that honor went to my Dad's M71 348. That 35 Rem would be in a handful of rifles I wouldn't sell. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/qqsXncv6/Rem-760-on-bench.jpg) Liked it so well I picked up a second one that is also a 1979. That one sits in the safe, didn't shoot it yet don't know that I will. Top notch condition with nice wood. Paid almost double what I paid for the first one, but thought it was still a good buy so home it came.
