Product Overview 35 Remington
Ever since its introduction in 2006, LEVERevolution ammunition has brought grandpa’s lever action rifle out of retirement and turned it into a firearm everyone is shooting. Featuring a soft polymer flex tip, it’s tough enough to stand up to a jacketed bullet, but soft enough so it won’t dent the primer of the round in front of it or cause accidental firing in a lever gun. This new technology makes LEVERevolution cartridges safe in tubular magazines.
LEVERevolution ammunition features up to 40% more energy than traditional flat point loads and travels up to 250 fps faster. Feed your lever gun with a box today! This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

.35 Remington: Ultimate Guide To What You Need To Know
.
While the .35 Remington was extremely popular when first introduced in the early 1900s, the cartridge has fallen out of mainstream use in recent years. A loyal segment of hunters and shooters still use the cartridge, but most other hunters pass by the .35 Remington in favor of modern cartridges with more impressive ballistics on paper.
In my opinion, that is a big mistake.
The .35 Remington initially found favor among hunters seeking a good “brush bullet” and many deer, bear, elk, and even moose have fallen to the .35 Remington over the years. Don’t be fooled by it’s somewhat anemic looking ballistics on paper when compared to newer cartridges sporting fancy pointed tips and blazing fast velocities.
Those same characteristics that made the .35 Remington such an effective choice on really large animals during the 20th Century still ring true today. It never has been and never will be a good long range cartridge, but if anything, modern loadings using high quality bullets have further improved the performance of the .35 Remington on big game at short to moderate range.
In this article, I’m going to conduct a detailed analysis of the .35 Remington in an effort to cut through some of the myths and misunderstandings out there regarding the capabilities of the cartridge so you can make an informed decision regarding whether or not you should hunt with one.

I bought the factory ammo to kill hogs with and have brass for reloading. I have since killed a hog and also have killed 3 deer. I shot a mature 3 1/2 year old 8 point at 110 yards slightly quartered in the lower neck and out front shoulder. Complete pass through with a golf ball size exit hole, he never moved. Shot one of the does in a very similar way with same result and the other doe was a double high front shoulder. I haven’t tracked a deer yet. On paper the 35 Remy is close to 3030 specs but in the true field test it just seems like a sledge hammer on them. I never thought I would love the slow and big bullet combo being a 257 Weatherby fan but it works well. I like it in the woods or anywhere under 150 yards. Very impressed with the way this ammo performs.

In my a Marlin 336SC with …
In my a Marlin 336SC with a 20″ barrel, these rounds group tighter than the Remington Cor-lokt 200 gr. round nose bullets I’ve been shooting. Chrono shows about 120 fps. faster than previous ammo. During gun deer season I killed a nice 8 point from a distance of about 70 yards. The bullet performed perfectly. It entered the shoulder at an angle and exited from mid-rib causing exit wound slightly larger than a quarter. It created a massive would channel taking out a main artery to the heart, lungs, and part of the liver. Bullet appeard to have expanded rapidly, leaving only a few lead fragments. The deer went about 35 yards before falling. Very pleased with the accuracy and terminal performance of the bullet.

The old 35 Remington is still around because of its effectiveness on game. It has never had razzle dazzle ballistics. 200 grain round nose plugging along at 2000 fps. When you hit something with it the razzle dazzle shows itself. Knocks em down, plain and simple. I’ve known a few men that were proficient with the 35 to take 200 yard plus shots and connect with the intended target using the round nose ammo. Now we have this wonderful ammo from Hornady. It’s has extended the range to 250 yards without using crazy holdover to lob a 200 RN down range. 250 yard kills can be made just barely holding over the back assuming the proper zero. A friend saw me make a 250 yard killing shot with the 35 using this ammo. Thats too far he said, you will never hit it. He was a life long 30-30 fan. The following year he showed up at camp with a 35 Remington and Lever ammo as he called it. That speaks for itself. Not just a brush gun anymore, thanks to this ammo.

I have owned 3 different Marlin 336 rifles in 35 remington. Still have 2. These Hornady LE 200 gr bullets have shown great accuracy in all of those rifles. Very consistant 1 in groups. I love to hunt with a lever gun , they carry so nice. My open country set up uses a fixed 6x Leupold Scope and I am confident taking 200 yard shots. The .30 BC is the best of any factory 35 rem. Load.

I use this product deer hunting. This is absolutely the best ammunition for my Rem 35. Loads safely and runs through the Marlin 336 perfectly. No safety issues ever. Great Product.

I reload for several different calibers and get great results with testing and being able to shoot more than most people get too. I grabbed a few boxes of these to shoot Hogs with and have the brass for reloading. It would be very hard to improve on this factory ammo, MOA at 100yd’s from a 1968 Marlin 336 with great velocity. Excellent Product!

I normally don’t post these, but felt compelled to after last deer season. My girlfriend was using my 336 in 35 Rem and had a buck quarter to her at about 30 yards through some thick brush. She shot him once while quartering, dropped him in his tracks with a clean passthrough. That wasn’t the impressive part. When we butchered the deer, the round had physically separated the backstraps from the spine. No wonder he didn’t take a step. Scary effective.

I brought my Grandfather’s Remington Model 8 back to life this last fall. It was manufactured in 1921 and worked flawlessly. It dropped a west-Texas Whitetail buck with a lung shot and it only ran about 20 yards. The exit wound indicated good expansion. I chronographed this ammo and it is as advertised, 2200 fps out of a 22″ barrel. The accuracy is under 1 MOA. I reload this brass back to factory specs using LEVERREVOLUTION powder and Hornady 200 Grain FTX bullet to good effect.

Always wanted a Marlin 336 in .35 rem.and treated myself to one,topped it with a Vortex Crossfire 2.The Hornady Leverevolution rounds are from the first box purchased for my CVA scout 35,which shoots them great ! The Marlin fed,fired,and ejected perfectly and without a hitch. First two shots printed low and 3/4ths in.apart at 50yds.After scope adjustments the next two were in the bull 1/2 in.apart. I moved back to 100 yds and two shots landed in the bull 1and 3/8 in.Factory rounds and stock trigger pull of 5 lbs 3 oz.To me,this is quite promising.Maybe a wild west happy trigger..and less coffee.but believe this set-up would work quite well out 200 yds. perhaps alittle more with the right shooter.Good Luck.

First time I’ve hunted with this hornady ammo, shot a buck looking at me at 80 yards he fell and didn’t even kick, no exit hole but didn’t matter to me because didn’t need to track him.Shot a 3/4 inch group when I was sighting the gun in. Great ammo for the 35
