CharlieAlphaLimaEcho 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2011 Just curious on peoples thoughts or past experience with the 35 Rem. or more specifically with a Marlin 336C in 35 Rem. as opposed to 30-30 Win. On paper they seem about the same, but i'm just wondering if the 35 is that much better than the 30-30 for bear and such to go out of my way and order. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dano 8 Report post Posted January 8, 2011 The 35 Rem is a great caliber. Bullet weight of the 35 Rem is the main advantage over the 30/30. Factory loads are 150gr and 200gr bullets (i think?) the 200's are what u need to use. There some other bullet choices if you reload. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
