Is the .35 Remington dead?

[bigred41]

Where are the reloaders finding bullets? Are they previously purchased? I guess it doesn’t take many to deer hunt with, maybe 10 shots a year?

BigRed, yes the ammo is hard to find right for 35rem but that doesn’t mean the caliber is going away. I’ve got 30-06,6.5CM, and a lot of other calibers that I love to shoot but when rifle season gets here I seem to always reach for my Marlin 35.
I don’t think the 35 or 30-30 is going anywhere

I agree with this that it isnt going anywhere, but the people that shoot it and have one love it. I just dont see new shooters adopting to this caliber.

Good reply. Right on target!

So, bottom line, buy every box of ammo you find for this antique cartridge.

I want a Henry single shot youth in 35 Remington for my grandsons first rifle. Not a 350 legend. The legend is the .35 Remington!

I still have my Marlin and T/C 14" in 35Rem. 2 cases of factory ammo, hundreds of empties, couple thousand bullets in several weights/styles, press, dies, casting equipment, pounds of powder and most of all plenty of primers. Enough for 10 generations of hunting. The 35 Rem will never die.

Not for you....

Supply will follow demand. If it dies its because we let it. I don't see that happening but I'm turning into a Fudd so who knows.

I'm old, so it was through accumulation throughout the years. Bought a lot through Midway years ago when they had them as "factory seconds" also can cast my own if the need arises, going to try some of those in my air rifle some time. Bought a couple thousand TC flat-points getting ready for silhouette shooting but moved before getting into it. First rounds I've reloaded with a Lee Loader took a nice Texas deer out of the Thompson 14". Those were the days.
