Gun Descriptions

Over the years, the .35 Remington has been chambered in a variety of rifles by most firearms manufacturers, and continues in popularity today in the Marlin Model 336 lever-action and Henry Side Gate Lever Action. It is also a popular cartridge for single-shot hunting pistols like the Thompson/Center Contender and the Remington XP-100. For hunters looking for a medium-power rifle with moderate recoil, for short to medium ranges, the .35 Remington is popular alongside the .30-30 Winchester. It has a small but loyal following in the northeast and areas of the southern United States. The cartridge uses a medium to heavy bullet and has moderate recoil based on a moderate pressure level of 33,500 CUP as set by SAAMI. The normal factory load consists of a 200 grain round-nosed bullet with a muzzle velocity of 2080 feet per second. This 200 grain bullet is nearly 18% heavier than the .30-30's 170 grain bullet, and has a 16% larger frontal area. This gives it a substantial increase in power over the .30-30, especially when used on larger game species. Remington helped promote the advantage in power that the .35 Remington had over the .30-30 through a series of advertising campaigns in the early 1900s. One of their advertisements even publicized the ability of the .35 Remington to penetrate a 5/16″ steel plate, which the .30-30 Winchester could not do. The .35 Remington is considered a fine round for deer, elk, black bear, and other medium and large game as long as ranges are reasonable. Hornady currently produces a .35 Remington load in their LEVERevolution line that features a rubber-tipped spitzer bullet which is safe to use in lever action or pump guns with tubular magazines.

The .350 Remington Magnum carries the same design as the 7mm Remington Magnum but is a shortened version. When it was introduced, it was the most powerful 35 caliber of its time. However, due to its short-fat concept in a time when longer and slender were preferred, it failed to captivate gun writers and shooters then. In short, many innovations around this cartridge and the rifle chambered for it were heavily scrutinized and criticized. The .350 Rem Mag was created by the Remington Arms Company in the year 1965, a year after the Model 600 carbine rifle, a push-feed bolt-action rifle by the same arms company was introduced. This cartridge was produced with two factory loads: a 200 grain and a 250 grain each at a velocity of 3000 fps and 2500 fps, respectively. The .35 caliber Rem Mag was a powerful cartridge, generating muzzle energy of up to 4000 ft. lbs. In terms of performance, the cartridge had limited ability to use longer, heavier bullets with higher ballistic performance due to the magazine length of the rifles it is usually chambered in. The .350 Rem Mag was a handy rifle, making it a convenient brush gun. At a reasonable range, the .350 Remington Magnum could easily take on a dangerous game. However, reloading with certain bullets made the cartridge capable of 500 yards of big game hunting. However, this intense power came at the terrible cost of vicious recoil, making it difficult for the average man to take a shot with the rifle. Also, as the model 600 was made of light synthetic material, the bedding was always at risk of being destroyed by the enormous power of the .350 cartridge. The idea of a compact rifle which was accurate, long-reaching -boasting great power was what the model 600 and .350 Rem Mag hoped to achieve. Unfortunately, that was lost in translation, seeing the .350 Rem Mag factory loading discontinued.
