I'm not much of a cl fan, but that bullet looks like a winner to me. I have a couple of 35's but have never killed anything with them. One is my loaner rifle and has killed many deer and hogs. Everybody wants to buy it after they use it.

My ancient 336 .35 is now in the backup category. I have used Rem Corelokcs in 200 gr. for years. I'm now experimenting with the Speer 220 grainers. Have worked up one load using H-4895.
The load chronos about 2150 but I'm not entirely happy with its accuracy. I think I can improve on that.

Have knocked off elk, mule and blacktails with the stock Remington 200 gr. load.


Happy Trails!

My first rifle was a 336 in .35 Rem. Shot many a deer with it. If I can find a 336D at a good price I will have another one. Also had a NIB Remington 141 but couldn't bring myself to shoot it so I sold it.

the 35 with 200gr corelokts has filled my truck a few times with deer. i have a bunch of the old rem pumps in carbine and rifle, 7600 carbine and several marlins including the 336D and 336SS LTD. they are all very accurate and deadly. the newer ones like the hornady LE ammo which is a little easier to find than the factory corelokts these days.

My 336 35 Rem with a 1.5-4.5x Bushnell Sportview scope will put 'em under 1.5" at 100 yds every time and has held its zero for 15 years even with shells with different powders including RL7, 3031 and 4064, all with 200 gr RN. I lost track of which shells were loaded with which powder several years ago and threw them all in a box together. Puts them all in the same group.

I agree, the 35 with Rem CoreLokt is deadly. I saw an older Remington ad showing a recovered Remington CoreLokt mushroomed, proclaiming it to be : "The deadliest mushroom in the forest"! I love the round nosed CoreLokt in a variety of calibers.

It doesn`t get much better than a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington.Glad we are in agreement about the 200gr CoreLokts.Many deer and hogs have fallen to that round. My 336 is a carbine with half magazine and a Weaver V4.5 scope.Light and short makes it easy to carry and no banging the barrel when in a tight stand. Lots of rifles stay at home in the safe when you own one of these. Only one I have that I feel the same about is a Ruger Compact in 308Win that is scoped the same.

Don't want to take away on someone else's thread but looking for suggested powders and bullets to use in the 35 Rem. Bought a 336 SC last fall shot a few factory rounds through it and did very well. Also suggestions on reloading dies??? Should I crimp? only neck size?? Thanks

Bought my new 35rem 336 back in Oct. 1967. K-Mart was running a special on them $67. Ate up most of a weeks pay, but love the rifle, son has it now.
A few years later added a Redfield 4X wideview with see through rings, it still wears that too.
Great rifle.

I run 37.5 gr IMR8028 with Hornady RN 200gr and 35.4 gr IMR8028 with Hornady 200gr FTX. The latter load is good for.5moa all day,not that its a target gun but it allows me confidence to shoot way out there if I need to.

Years ago, this older Remington semi-auto in 35 has taken moose and bear in Maine. No problem with killing power.

I bought a nice 336/60s vintage straight stock that had a funky Tasco scope on it... Replaced it with a Weaver base, low rings and a Leupold 1.5-5 scope... Shoots very well....

Bullets/ammo wise the below links are the best tests I have seen on the .35 Remington. As to the 220 Speer...way too tough a bullet. My friend drove one into the shoulder of a black bear at 30 yards...at an impact velocity of 2650 fps... Perfect mushroom after driving down throgh the shoulder, lungs, heat and was found expanded against the skin of the chest...

Perfect bullet for the short action Remington .350 Mags but unless you want a lot of penetration too much for the .35 Rem...

Beautiful, I have a 70's 336 I took a nice buck with this year. Good accuracy out to 100 yards.

My 1964 Marlin Marauder (lower rifle) with 16 1/4" barrel in .35 Rem is my go to rifle for still hunting. Light, short, and quick handling. A real delight in the woods. The Lawrence leather sling is also 1964 vintage.

I was able to hit a grape fruit sized pumpkin with it never the less at almost 100 yards off hand. 200 Gr Remington RN's I think I just might have to get one now. I also said that if ever he needs to sell it, come to me first.


Everytime I take my 35 to the range I am amazed at the gun.Mine is the SC model with a Weaver 1-3 on it in Leupold rings. I am so glad I have this rifle. It would be the last rifle to leave my house. Iam taking it hunting all next week and hope I run into a shooting size NC black bear on the trip. I am using Hornady Leverolution ammo right now but I will buy 100 cases of Rem brass and start reloading it with corelockts for next year.


How do you like the Hornady stuff? I tried the Leverevolution in my 336, but didn't get very good groups for some reason. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this - when I switched to the Federal 200 grain RN the groups tightened right up. It sure is a nice rifle; I'll never part with it. It was one of those "finds" that come out of the blue. I just wandered into a small town gun shop one day and there it was.

Here is a 336 35 Rem that I purchased from Kittery Trading Post, Maine about a year ago. Blue is fantastic for a pre-crossbolt safety model. This one has the gold colored trigger. The original wood was in good shape but I opt for the checkered stock and forend for kind of dress-up mode. I purchased the furniture from Midway.

Have to finish install of the forend and put the front sight back on.
