A few Marlin 35 R have been rechambered into 356 Winchesters so they kind of go the other way and do not use the case.
    As mentioned, you are dealing with a tubular magazine lever rifle although some lightweight Mausers were made in 35 for a handy brush rifle. They claimed that a bolt action 35 R properly throated with a long enough magazine to hold 250 grain bullets was a different animal than the lever gun as it was loaded to higher pressures and would push the heavier bullet about as fast as the 200 grain lever cartridge. Also they used pointed bullets. Not a wild cat but a different use.
    In any other platform than a tubular lever one might as well use any one of the 308 modifications other than spend big bucks adapting to a wildcat. Some Big Bore 94 users claimed that they could use 308 and 358 cases in their rifles even thought they had a smaller head? They were not talking about loaded ammo.
    Too bad the 25, 30 and 32 Remingtons died off as they were good cartridges better suited to a repeater than the rimmed Winchester cartridges. And I have older loading manuals that claim you sue the same data for them as their Winchester counterparts.

    DEP
    Once upon a time there was a "to die for" scoped .35 Remington bolt action used by an assassin in a Chicago gangster show. What a fine rifle to have for cast!

    Forgive me ,but isn't .35 Rem brass just about unavailable these days to even bother wildcatting? You may have more options Stateside but up North not common.
