All very good points about the Ole 35 Remington except for 1 and that would be that today with the powders and bullets such as the Hornady 200Gr FTX that are available the Ole 35 Remington is no longer just a 150 yard hunting rifle. Now it can be used to great effect to over 200 yards.
But if one decides to stay with cast boolits then the as mentioned around 150 yards is a good rule of thumb I would think.
I could be wrong but my Ole rule of thumb is that depending on load the 35 Remington is a good hunting round up to around 200 yards the 358 Winchester right around 300 yards and the 35 Whelen if after bigger critters such as Elk is a good 400 yard thumper.
