The "NEW" 35 Remington?

[@Adirondan35]

I am the guy that calls Ruger and implores them to chamber the 336 in 35 Remington again. The quintessential Adirondack/ NorthEast whitetail and black bear cartridge. Also, Remington loaded the 35 Remington with a 150gr CoreLokt bullet. I haven’t seen them do a run in a while but I have a few boxes stored away in the gun safe. Winchester just did a run of 35 Rem in their PowerPoint line.

[@anamerican2251]

Fellow ADK hunter ! I love my 30-30 ‘94 but 35 rem is beautiful !! Cheers

[@ricktaylor3748]

The 150 grain CoreLokt was Remingtons best load for the 35 Marlin mod 336. They were more accurate than the 180 grain, and had more range.

Same, I got my grandfather’s 141 pump in .35 Rem, took a beautiful 9 point Buck with it a couple weeks ago. Ran 10-15 yards and hit the ground dead, could’ve followed the blood trail through a tsunami. The scope is very faded out, so a new Leupold 1.5-5 is going on there before next year, but I now have a new favorite for when I’m in the woods and 100 yard shots are top end. Although my new to me 336 in .35 did well this year too. Two great weapons, awesome cartridge.

I just worked out a safe load for my old Marlin 336 in 35 remington. 200 gr. FTX, Leverevolution powder. Pushing 1930 fps at muzzle. 1.05 in groups average. 9 inch low at 200 yards. I'm satisfied with that.

[@ottokittel709]

the marlin 336 in 35 rem was sold in every Walmart, gun shop for $350. bucks for many years. they were the cheapest deer hunting center fire rifle you could buy. then marlin was bought by Remington, and then Remington went bankrupt. so now we have Ruger marlins and Henry lever rifles but they cost around $1000. or more. now a lever rifle is very expensive and is not the first rifle choice like it was, many new hunters buy a cheap Ruger, or cva, etc in a more modern cartage for their first rifle. marketing, and poor managed rifle manufactures killed the lever guns off.. Remington is starving off 35 rem rifle owners with low ammo or none at all, while pushing the new buckhammer gimmick. I have 2 rem 35 marlins that i handload for getting right at 2400 fps,

[@troy9477]

Remington seems to have a habit of mire or less abandoning cartridges in recent years. Including stuff they brought to the market (I am looking at you, 30 Rem AR). Their mismanagement, sale, and additional mismanagement has something to do with it. The bean counters will say they have to focus on the ammo that sells well. But if you never put other stuff out there, you won't know how it sells. People will buy it. Do like Win does and do 1 or 2 runs per year of the lower volume stuff, then keep it on hand. Only takes a day or 2. Of course it will cost more, due to economies of scale and other factors, but people will buy it. 35 Rem and 35 Whelen both come to mind, but how about 8x57, 7x57, 6.55x55, 260 Rem, etc. In handguns, 32 Long, 41 Mag, etc. Many people still shoot the old standards, and are not interested in new geegaws and gimcracks. Rem saw a market for a straight wall cartridge, and they filled the need. How about doing that with stuff u already have the tooling to make? The only "modern" cartridge which somewhat interests me is the 6.5 PRC, and mainly because i always liked the 6.5x55. Thankfully, Tikka still chambers the Swede. Btw, the Traditions Outfitter single shot was available in 35 Rem previously. Not sure if they still chamber it. It seems to have disappeared from the SW website in recent months. If you need help testing with iron sights Ron, let me know. I have always wanted to make a pilgrimage to ID...... 😁

So many diff calibers and cartridges out there, that it would drive somebody nuts to have to buy ever spec ever made, in every caliber!! Lol However, seeing how much of an absolute “close range, heavy hitter,” that the .45-70 has become, almost like a brick wall smacking a charging or nearby bear and other “big-game” in that class, I can picture the .35 being another underated and devastatingly-deadly bear cartridge.

@@PassivePortfolios That’s a shame, I have used the 35 REM in the woods for decades and it has never let me down. I also use a lever 44 Mag and it also works very well and I took my first whitetail with my Redhawk 44 mag revolver last year at about 25 yards. No need for 3000fps in the woods, just need a big bullet that penetrates deep in my opinion.

The trouble with ‘special’ new cartridges is that it can be tough to find these calibers in various geographical locations where you’d like to hunt. Sure you can pack enough for your hunt but what if your luggage is lost or delayed? All my life I’ve stuck with the ‘old’ cartridges such as 30-30, 30-06, 300 Win Mag and 375 H&H mag etc. I’ve avoided all ‘new’ exotic cartridges and can expect to find the old timers from Buenos Aires to Harare. Your mileage may vary.

Within 100 yards it is an awesome deer gun / caliber. I do load my own ammo, but it is pretty close to factory......... This new cartridge has got my attention.

360 Buckhammer gives hunters in straightwall cartridge states another viable option with a little more zip for catching deer at normal ethical distances.

Yet, the old Remington is a more modern cartridge

[@PassivePortfolios]

No trajectory advantage over the 170-180 grain 350 Legend but it has a little more power due to the heavier bullet. Doubtful if the deer will know the difference between the two rounds. But there is a big difference in price between Henry and Marlin rifles in 360 BH and Savage, Mossberg, and Ruger bolt action rifles in 350 Legend. Also the 350 Legend ammo is cheaper and more widely available.

There are also a limited number of single-shot rifles chambered in 35 Remington. More to the point, there's a TON of 35 Remington rifles already sitting in gun safes around the country, so there should still be factory runs of ammunition being made. The bad thing about the 35 Remington is it has a unique head size, meaning you can't easily make it from any other cartridge. (I have made some from 303 British, but it ain't "easy"!) The 360 Buckhammer has the advantage of being made using the same basic brass as the 30/30, and it could be formed from such fairly easily in the future, if it comes to that. I still have a lot of love for the 35 Remington, just like I do the 6.5 Grendel - cuz sometimes enough cartridge is just perfect! It's worth noting that you can push 35 Remington cases to higher pressures in modern actions, like the 336 (See Ken Waters' loads). Also, the 35-30/30 was one of the very first wildcat cartridges based on a smokeless parent case. Guys would take shot-out 30/30 rifles, have them bored out to shoot 35 caliber bullets, and viola! So, this cartridge really isn't new...it's at least 100 years old, the only difference is it's been shortened and tapered such that it's kinda-sorta straight-walled.

[@Johnny-jr2lq]

I was able to convert 308 into 35 Remington to function and cycle in my 336. You are correct it’s not the easiest thing to accomplish BUT. If you really want to shoot your grandfathers deer rifle it can be done. While I’m at it i think you could appreciate what i found on FB market place. What’s the chances a guy is searching on FB market place looking for anything reloading. Comes across a post explaining they have some old casting gear molds and lead. I go to check it out and the gentleman says “oh idk if you would be interested in these 3 box’s of ammo I have” I respond “yeah let me see what you have” and what he pulls out is 3 new old stock box’s of 35 Remington 200gr core lokt. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I had been looking for that ammo for a solid 3 years. And to my surprise a fluke of happenstance I lucked out on that deal. What’s the odds

[@jonvig1364]

200 gr corelock 35 Rem is deadly on whitetail. I attribute it to the fact that it is only loaded in 35 Rem and designed for 35 rem velocity. Unlike most bullets that have to perform at varying velocity levels.

I remember this same sort of conversation and comparison back in the 1980s regarding 30-30, .35rem, .356win, and .375win. The key to all of these was keeping the velocities up, getting good reliable terminal effect, and not letting trajectories fall off. Best ways/means to do so was averaging 40-75 yard shots and efforts to keep under 150yds. Still have my .375win BigBore XTR. Peep-sight and very accurate. .356win is along same balistics as .360 BuckHammer. I would only see BuckHammer for those requiring adhearance to straight-wall cartridge state rules. Traditionally .35rem and especially if/when seeking good old school used guns.

The 360 Buckhammer is awesome for straight walled cartidge states. I always wanted a 35 Remington but never had a use for it due to living in Ohio.

The 350 Legend came along and is now king in my area but I did not buy one because of the ammopocalypse. If the manufacturers want me to buy a new gun these days they have to do better at making ammo WAY cheaper and available. Otherwise I will pass it up. But if your in the market for a lever gun for hunting I would get the 360 Buckhammer.

Weighs in at 6 pounds couple ounces. Had a Kevlar composite stock it was bedded into. He really liked that gun. He had taped a piece of string to the end of the barrel to see which way the wind was blowing and used a practiced hold over. He told me you just have to practice a lot. Said it was like throwing a football, if you practice enough it becomes in gain how far and how to aim. I don't think he took shots past about 300-400 yards though. 500 yards was considered far back then before range finders were common. People could do it but most didn't think it was ethical to attempt it on live game. P.S. He loved lever actions! I have an antler handle knife.

Most of the states with the straight wall rife cartridge came from them upgrading shotgun only areas. My father in law had a 740 and 760 Remington in 35 Remington

[@frankbowman3621]

Winchester made a Model 70 with a 20" barrel in .35 Remington, once upon a time. I myself constructed a bolt action based on a 1894 Brazilian small ring Mauser, with a 24" barrel. Loads using the no longer available Hornady 180gr SSP bullet were worked up. This was done for my sister's then second husband(don't ask), as he had a Marlin 336C that for some reason "he" just couldn't manage to shoot very well. That worked well for him for many years....

[@trcorbin]

I still have my model 94. My father bought it for me in 1966 for $50. It was made in 1947. I just might have to take it out a couple times this fall.

[@aaronloveday4858]

So I’m seeing 3 different groups to fall into when deciding between the 35 rem, 360 buck and the rimless straight walls (because they are all very close ballistically) and that would be firearms selection if you want a bolt action or auto loader get the rimless straight wall, if you want a lever action get the 360 and if you want to have an older gun that has historical or nostalgic value use the 35 rem

[@drycreek3204]

I love my 35 Rem in my Marlins! JM originals....

[@clintonlayne9253]

Ron , I have a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. My plans are to hunt with it if I get a Black Hills tag I have a preference points wish me luck !.

[@fishingwithdj2844]

I got a marlin .336 chamber .35 Remington and I’ve caught many deer with it over the years, I just don’t use it anymore because ammo is so high. Awesome rifle though. Let me add that I do have issues with the rounds going back behind the feeding slide thing and it’s all because it’s rimless. My .336 30-30 never had any issues. The .35 Remington really wasn’t meant for lever actions like he was saying.

[@chevy_dave]

All this did was convince me to keep using my 760 in 35 rem

[@davidzakrzewicz707]

I watched this podcast and was reminded of the scene in “Tombstone” when Doc Holliday says , “He reminds me of me.” I m referring to your complaints about your aging eyes and difficulty using iron sights. I sound just like you, but a Williams Foolproof aperture sight on my .35 Remington still lets me shoot to the practical range of the cartridge.

[@RocRocket-cl3vc]

Thank you Ron. Why no 356 Win? Anyway. I like the 360BH. Easy to make brass from 30-30 presumably. Wife has saddle ring marlin ‘89 in 38-40 she carried for 12yrs when we farm rented. Lovely, even with some pitting in the chamber. Did what was needed. Would love to trade for 336 in 360BH or ‘94 in 44mag though. In another world it may happen…have to get past the missus. 😢 Thanks for the heads up on your blog…will take a peek.

[@joestriker2100]

And here I thought it was going to be an announcement that more 35 Rem were about to be made. Can't find ammo for my Dad's old Marlin 336 anywhere.

[@davidrussell631]

There’s plenty of Hornady and Federal 35 Rem available online and Federal even has two offerings: Poweshok 200g or 220g FN in Federal Premium’s Hammer Down line for lever actions. I also bought a couple boxes of Winchester last year to try.

[@kentonward97]

Get a Marbles peep sight that replaces your current rear sight. From the side doesn’t look different but that peep shows up real well , I would also replace that front sight with a Marbles gold bead one. That combo works great for old eyes!

[@kennethgoin628]

I picked up a Henry Side Gate in 35 Rem. It shoots like a dream! What a woods cartridge! And recently, I've been told that a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem is being handed down to me. When I receive it, I'll get to compare old school against new old school. To me, all these lever legends are rather close in performance and ability. The 350/400 Legend rounds and 360 Buckhammer are just an exercise in redundancy. But that's okay. New traditions and memories will come from them just the same. Some people cringe about scoping or modern equipping a lever action rifle, but I put a Leupold 2-7x33 Freedom on my Henry and it's both gorgeous and easier to shoot!

[@kennethmowery702]

I still use a 35 Remington but I called Remington a few months back and they said that they was gonna continue to make the 35 but i haven't been able to find it anywhere but online since covid. I also watched a release video from Remington and they said to not worry but the 35 wasn't going anywhere but I don't know how I feel about it since I cant find it anymore in stores.

[@406MountainMan]

Another great video!!! Thank you so much. Keep'em coming

[@Squizzle56]

I’m with you on the “old” eyes. I wear trifocals, and I can either see the target clear or the sights clear. Depends on which part of my glasses I am looking through. I find it easier to see the sights and get a good idea of the location on the target. A reddot helps immensely, but would look out of place on a lever action like that.

[@charlesjenkins615]

Have a Remington model 81 in 35 Rem. A fun rifle but the cost of ammo is shocking time to learn how to reload 😁✌️

[@jjgriffin3275]

I had the same problem w a henry 44mag AW, i have great eyes and am a profiscient shooter and the rifle shot 6 in high and 6 in right no matter how you adjust the sights, sent it back to henry to fix the sights and when it came back it shot 8 in high and 6 in right. they did not fix the issue, so i put a scope on it and it shoots sub 1 in at 100 now.

[@chucklimbeck1617]

Use to have a 336 in .35 Rem. Sold it because I had recurring jamming issues with it. However, when I did hunt with it, the jamming wasn't a problem because the deer always went down like it was hit with a sledgehammer. Took my first buck with it back in 1973. Loved the cartridge, just not that particular Marlin. I'm using a Henry Big Boy Steel in .44 mag with Skinner aperture sights in the straight wall area of MIchigan, but that .360 Buckhammer has my attention!

[@billmccullough777]

Marlin lever actions often had a jam problem at a certain point in their lives. A good gunsmith could eliminate that problem. I had all my Marlins reworked. No jamming here. After 10 years with 35 Rem, I finally bought a Winchester 30-30 for the history. Put a peep sight on it. Still reach for the 35 for deer. It's a tack driver. Went to 358 Win in a BLR for black bear.

[@charlesshoemaker3622]

@@chucklimbeck1617 I use an old 1894 Marlin 44 mag in south east Oklahoma as well as a 336 in 35 REM. I really enjoy the 44 in the woods.

[@sirfrydryk360]

My sister got the pump Rem in 35 Rem. I got the 30-30 win in a 1894 build in 1920 (as far as I could find out) with a round 26 inch barrel and full length magazine. they both shoot quite a bit better than others I have shot, with factory and hand loaded ammo.

[@buckshot4428]

Remington used to make a 150 pointed sp for use in the Rem 14 & 141 due to it's spiral magazine.

[@blacksmithcowboy4725]

I inherited my Grandfather's 35 Remington in the Remington model 8. And it's an awesome rifle and cartridge

[@abesvenom6573]

I love those leaver action rifles Ron i had some that break in half 300 win mag i sold during pandemic for good money went to hunters for hunting i would guess they come in 308 and 243 and and 45 and 3030 and 45/70 3.5 Creed and so on love them all. They hold their value thats for sure specially the stainless steel once. These classic hunting rifles that will never go out of style ever they are always beloved and worth to own a piece of history thats for sure.

[@billyhill4937]

The 35 Rem factory runs at 34,000 psi MAP to function in the old Remington model 8 auto loader. If you have a Marllin 35 Rem levergun you can handload to the cartridges potential and there is almost no real world differnce between the 35 Rem and the Buckhammer . The Buckhammer is just a 35/30-30 wildcat with a fancy new name.

[@chriskincaid6035]

Thank You ...

[@chrisc2671]

My dad’s friend has a 356 Winchester. It’s essentially a 307 Winchester necked up to 35 calibre. It’s good because it’s not a straight walled cartrage.

[@wilberfifer5563]

That was fun Ron, Thank you.

There was an old wild cat cartridge call a 35 30-30, it has a very slide bottle neck, which was a 30-30 case make up to 35.

[@RandallWeeks]

Arkansas this rear switched the muzzleloader seasons to "alternate firearms seasons" and you're allowed to use non-semiautomatic straight wall rifle cartridges. So I just bought a Henry 360BH to try out this year. I think it's gonna be plenty good for deer n bears.

[@keith20thSOS]

THE HELL IT IS DEAD! I HAVE MY GRANDFATHERS 1951 MARLIN 336 WITH A 24 " Rifle barrel and I still hunt with it, from Javilina, Blue Boar to Elk and Big Horns! I'm 72 and "roll my own" for the hunt I'm doing !

[@riverrivers250]

15:36 i had the same problem with the original sights on my henry 3030, it was hard to see through.. i switched them out wit HiViz sights. Its way better then the factory.. maybe be better with the Rear Hi Viz and the Stock front sight

[@riverrivers250]

Cause the front hiviz sight is kind of fat. Not for long range precision shooting

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

Technically, a .358 diameter bullet is closer to 36 caliber than 35 caliber, so .360 Buckhammer is not that much of a misnomer. Also, as long as I can get lead,gas checks, powder, and primers, my model 336 in .35 Remington isn't going anywhere.

[@johnnorman7708]

.35 Remington was a John Browning modification of the .303 British case, or so one speculative story goes. It ain't fast, but it's reliable at woods ranges. .35 caliber is the beginning of big bore, even though it's technically considered as a medium bore in hunting cartridges. It is a good one if ranges over 200 yards aren't a big deal for you.

[@shawnd554]

I have it in the 760 remington pump action love it

[@markstearns2980]

350 legend also equivalent. I resize hornady’s ftx bullets for the 35 Remington for use in my 350 legend. They work like magic on deer.

[@JEM133]

Harvested my 1st buck,with a .35 Remington.

[@lz3572]

Hey Ron absolutely like your videos. I think the 360 is a great idea especially for the guys that need a straight wall cartridge. Now on a different note. I shoot a 7rem mag and 6mm Remington and 30-06 But I am looking for something in the middle. 6.5 PRC. 7-08. 308 Your choice if you could only get one. Deer out to 450. Moose and elk out to 300 ?
