The .35 Remington is the only remaining cartridge from Remington's lineup of medium powder rimless cartridges still in commercial production. Introduced in 1906 it was originally chambered for the Remington Model 8 semi-automatic rifle in 1908.[2]
[edit] History
Over the years, the .35 Rem has been chambered in a variety of rifles by most firearms manufacturers, and continues in popularity today in the Marlin Model 336 lever-action.[1] It is also a popular cartridge for single-shot hunting pistols like the TC Contender. For hunters looking for a good woods gun, (i.e. a medium powder rifle with moderate recoil, for short to medium ranges) the .35 Rem is popular, taking second place to the .30-30 Winchester. [3] It has a small but loyal following in the North East and areas of the southern United States.
This is a cartridge with a medium to heavy bullet that has moderate recoil based on a moderate pressure level of 33,500 CUP as set by SAAMI.[1] The normal factory load consists of a 200 grain round-nosed bullet with a muzzle velocity between 1950 and 2100 feet per second.
The .35 Rem is considered a fine round for deer, elk, black bear, and other medium and large game as long as ranges are reasonable.[4]
