I have everything BUT the Marlin for sale in the classifieds.
If you look, you will see I am having issues uploading images. I will keep working on that.

Never been a lever guy but always wanted a 35 REM fer some reason....Recently bought a 1963 Marlin 336 and can't wait to get it in to fire off some rounds. I don't reload and don't find many options local fer ammo. I haven't checked the local BPS, where do ya'll usually get your stuff???

Without reloading? Wow, that's a tough one. I see it at our local shop occasionally, we have a flea market with a couple regular gun guys and they come across odd lots of ammo too. Otherwise, gunbroker will undoubtedly have ammo for sale.

That's about the biggest "old wives tale" out there. I sold my .35 after killing enough deer with it to reach the conclusion that it just wasn't quite as effective as my .30-30 and that all the gun pundits who praised it for it's superior killing power throughout the years were just plain full-o-chit .

For deer, I don't see much difference, though definitely not less effective than the 30-30. The 35 starts to shine when the game gets bigger.

Heavier bullet with larger diameter at about the same speed, yet LESS effective? VERY interesting perspective to say the least.

I sold my 336 35 Rem in favor of my 336 in 356 Win.

I prefer my 35 Rems to look like this:

I just picked up the twin to my early 50s made 336 in .30-30. I can't wait to get it going. A buddy of mine hunts exclusively with a .35 Remington and he seems to get a little better blood trail than does my .30-30. Both work pretty darn good though.

For black bear at close range the 35 Rem is hard to beat. I still carry a model 8 Remington when backing up clients and/or searching for a wounded animal. In heavy cover at very close range it is good to know you have a reliable rifle that can spit five rounds of 200 grain slugs as fast as the trigger can be pulled.

A 35 caliber, 200 grain bullet moving at essentially the same speed as a lighter and smaller 30-30 bullet "less" effective? Holy defies physics Batman!

I have owned and used both the 30-30 and a 35 Remington. The 35 has consistently put animals down faster and with better blood trails. In fact I would say that the 30-30 is "THE CALIBER" for any skilled tracker looking for a supreme challenge. Never spent so much time searching for deer without a blood trail in my life.

Not if you understand physics. A 170 gr 30-30 bullet will easily out penetrate a 200 gr 35 caliber bullet. The only advantage a 35 has over a 30-30 is in the minds of those who want to see a difference.

I have no ax to grind with the round, but it isn't anything magical either.


Most people don't really want the truth.

They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

The original comment had nothing to do with penetration which is hardly the issue with either cartridge. Both will fully penetrate a deer. Hell you can shoot through Alabama deer with a 22 magnum. Traumatic tissue damage kills. And there is no way in hell that a 200 grain 35 caliber bullet traveling at the same speed as a 170 grain 30 caliber bullet is going to do less damage. Which is the claim I responded to. Want to argue that the difference is negligible? Fine. But to claim it will do less damage is just ignorant.

True dat. If you were to run the two loads through calculators like Taylor KO value and such, the 35 Rem will always come out on top. Saying the 30-30 "will easily out penetrate the 35 Rem" is just plain not true. Penetration calculators like Hornady HITS calculator would show them to be extremely close. Nearly the same. Or the one Beartooth bullets has on their site. However, the 35 is gonna cause more damage no matter how you slice it.

A quote from Hornady manual: "The 35 Remington is ballistically superior to the 30-30 Winchester, and closely approximates the 375 Winchester".

Saying the 30-30 kills more effectively than the 35 Rem is kinda like saying the same about 308 vs. 358 or 30-06 vs. 35 Whelen, IMO. Only difference is, the larger bullets are actually traveling slower out of these cartridges. My 200gr 35 Rem loads travel nearly the identical speeds as my 170gr 30-30 loads. And they are visibly larger. You can't argue with physics.

Anyhoo, I'm not trying to argue. Both are great, classic cartridges. I own 4-5 30-30s. Only 1 35 Rem now........

Get one of these and you won't have any doubt which of the 3 hits harder grin

Actually, the 356 doesn't get used any more. It is near mint and kinda rare, so it sits in safe. I still hunt with my 71s in 348, Marlin 444SS, and Win 88 in 308. All my other leverguns just sit. Although, I have given thought to busting out a 30-30 soon. But I just put a brand new scope on the 35 Rem model 141. So......

I found a guy on another local forum that had 200 and 250 grain reloads....We'll see how it works. Didn't see much ballistic info fer 250 grain, but it'll be a close proximity shooter fer me anyways.

That's going to be very effective for you I'm sure.
