The 35 Remington is an old cartridge, developed and released at the turn of the last century (1906). The 35 Remington is considered by many to be a medium power hunting cartridge suitable for medium to large sized game, depending on the distance.
This 35 caliber bottleneck cartridge design is an excellent deer hunting cartridge for closer distances out to about 150 or so yards.
The rifles chambered in the 35 Remington are usually thought of being a “brush gun” because they’re usually shorter lever action guns, like the Marlin 336. But the first rifle was the Remington Model 8 in 1908.
This cartridge isn’t as popular as it used to be, with all of the mainline ammunition manufacturers only offering up one product for it. But there is a cult-like following for this cartridge because it is effective for hunting purposes and excels in certain situations.
