I have a 30-06 rem 7600 and win model 70 in 270. What I was getting at was I don't reload, so I was hoping they keep making the .35 rem 200 grainers I'am here in TN and all 3 work just fine. But I really like carring that marlin 336. I had a 45-70 years back but sold it. Thanks for the comments
Federal, Remington, Winchester and Hornady all make it in 150 and 200 gr bullets from RN to flex tips to SP. I don[t think you will have to worry about lack of availability. To be safe you can do like I did, saved up my pennies and nickles for awhile then ordered a case of 32 Win spcl. I grab them when I see them on the shelf but they aren't on the shelf very often. If nothing else go to Graf and Sons, I will bet they usually have them on hand.
On sale for $22.99 at the moment for the 200 gr evolution ammo.

35 Remington is one of those cartridges that kills far better than mere paper charts would suggest. This cartridge has been in active production since about 1906 and the bullet makers know how to make it expand quickly while remaining intact for deep penetration.
A few years ago, the way to acheive flatter trajectory was to hand load the most excellent 180 grain Speer bullet. But Hornady's flex tip leverevolution 200 grain bullet is the way to go for the factory ammo hunter.
Buffalo Bullet Co. sells 220 grain custom ammo for the 35 Remington. I've not tried but heard that recoil is stout.
In summary, 35 Remington has taken train loads of deer and bear in USA. Canadians have taken moose, caribou, and even the great bears with this oldy-but-goody! It deserves to be more popular than it is.
Good hunting to you.

grand old ctg
The .35 Rem is a grand old ctg, same age as the 'o6, it just does not have the following.
When levers and pumps were the rage for deer, the .35 was very popular.
THE deer rifle of my youth was a Rem 141 pump in .35. Most thought it a better killer than a .30-30 or.30 Rem due to bigger hole and heavier slug.
Gradually the old timers passed and Rem replaced the 141 with the 760, and the '06 took over. There is not a deer, black bear or average hog that will not succumb to a well placed .35 Rem slug. It's only limit is a loopy trajectory ,making it 150+ yd or so ctg, not a problem for the woods hunter.
