Is the .35 Remington dead?

This is the problem with capitalism's motto about building a better mousetrap and having the world come beating a path to your door.

Some perfectly good and very affordable mousetraps get cast aside and taken off the market because everybody's clamoring for the newest coolest thing-- which may not have any practical benefit over the old thing.

I don't think that applies in this case.

The 350 Legend solves a problem: It's legal for hunting in places where 35 Remington and other bottleneck cases aren't. It's got substantially more effective range than a 357 Mag rifle, which also has very limited availability in guns other than lever action.
 
My old man used to hunt the islands in Alaska for blacktail, he would bring his 270 to make sure he got a few then after that he would just carry his T/C contender pistol with a 14"35 rem barrel on it. He then would spend the rest of the trip still hunting with just it. He would load up 180 gr bullets with 4198. Him and the guy he would go with would stack them up and we would have black tail all year.
