I have a Contender pistol in 35 Remington. It's fun to.shoot.use the 200gr Core-lokts in it.
I occasionally drag out the 35. As for Max point blank range, you are just going to have to shoot it and see. In an average barrel, with 1.5 " scope height, 200 leverrevolution will be about 6 inches low at 200 with 100 yd zero. Why 75 yard zero?A few years back I did some gun trading with a coworker. A few months later and another back and forth trade, I ended up with his Marlin 336 in .35 Remington (traded a Ruger LCP .380 for it... yes, I know, I basically stole it). I went to the stand with it this evening with my 3 year old son. We walked up on a deer in the feed patch between us and the stand at 5:00 and decided to go ahead shoot it since it was the first time my 3 year old and I have hunted together. My boy wasn't quite sure what was happening but he was sure happy to be there!
Anyhow, does anyone else on here hunt with a .35 Remington regularly? I know there's only a handful of production ammo options for it, if you can even find it these days. I can't find any ballistics charts online but from what I can tell, I should be good out to 150 yards or so with a 75 yard zero.

100 yard zero will not put you shooting too high at any point in the trajectory path and if by chance you are looking to shoot to 200 it's a better starting point.Good question. Not sure why I chose that, other than I figured it as a brush gun and 75 yards would be my max distance for the woods I typically hunt. Maybe figured as a good compromise between my comfort with iron sights at 50 yards and my traditional max distance of 100 yards.
what if you compare the 150gr .35 to the 150gr .30-30?
Local Armory...just picked up some last week CoreLokt 150 grain...just a small, rural, store with MULTIPLE brands and loads. They do a GREAT job!So here's the big question... Where can one find ammo for a .35 Remington these days? It's become nonexistent online and it was such an unpopular caliber that few LGS's had much if any anyways.
