Load your bullets somewhere around 2000 and go kill anything in North America.

1912 fps from my 11 1/2" T/C was my go-to for big high country bucks for a couple decades. H322 and the same bullet you're using, about 212 grs for me, gave 100 yard groups of about 1.5". Killed a few nice bull elk with this load/gun with one round over the years, too. Just bought a new scope to try on it a few months ago.
Very well put, concur 100%.
As to the 35-200-FN I use it in the 35 Remington in a bolt gun (M91 Argie with Shilen barrel) and it certainly works for me. I push it at 2150 fps. I use softer alloy and expect expansion to 250 yards though with the sights I use on the rifle I have set 200 yards as a practical maximum.

Larry,
don't you think it's time to update your pictures of that particular bullet/cartridge/rifle combination?
..
If it ain't broke, don't fix it......lol.....

"RCBS 35-200-FN, how fast for deer?"
750 fps at the deer, more than enough.

Major Douglas Wesson, using factory loads, which were a 158 gr. soft lead bullet, traveling 1515 fps, from an 8 3/4" barreled S&W, producing 812 ft. lbs of muzzle energy.
Antelope - 200 yards (2 shots)
Elk - 130 yards (1 shot)
Moose - 100 yards (1 shot)
Grizzly Bear - 135 yards (1 shot).
It kind of makes one wonder, why today, it will bounce off anything bigger than a rabbit
My cast boolit load books show max loads at 1600-1700 fps for a 200 gr boolit. any suggestions on where to find 2000-2200fps load data?
From Lyman #48 Manual for 200 gr Jacketed. Pressures will be a tudge lower with cast. These are safe loads as per SAAMI in deference to the old semi auto 35 Rem rifles. I load in a Mauser bolt action so can load higher. M336 Marlins also can also be loaded to 30-30 SAAMI pressures. Not near my own measured psi data so can't advise further at this time.

I got great accuracy at 2000 fps using IMR 3031 in a
358 Win on the first try.

What was your load?
I have the Lee version of the bullet-- and so far starting load + half a grain of H322 has been just fine-- just started using this boolit

Larry,
Do you use the hollow-point bullet on deer, or does the bullet's standard meplat provide enough thump without the hole-in-the-nose?
Just bein' nosey, if you'll pardon my pickin'.
Happy trails,
