    35 Rem getting it done

    Smashed this one this afternoon at a little under 100yds dropped in his tracks using a 35-200FN over enough 3031 to give me about 1900FPS. Super exciting watching one drop using your own hand cast loads.

    That,ll work all day long. If the shooter does their part, the cast lead boolits will do their part. The proof is in the eating. Really Nice one. Congratulations on a hunt well done. Be sure to leave a few for seed. HE HE HE.

    Nice buck! I used that same bullet to kill a couple hogs in GA. It does a great job.

    I hoping to post a thread like this within the next few years, got my load all set for my .35 rem with that bullet and 3031 this summer and just need to try it out on a deer now.

    I'm a big believer in this 35 Rem and cast flat point deal this buck dropped like a rock and the wife was sitting 200yds away in the house and said she heard the smack very predominantly.

    Wow, nice buck and a great shot with a peep sight no less.
    I hope to be as lucky within the next three weeks using my custom Marlin 336 .35 using the same load combo.

    The first buck I ever shot was with a 1950 vintage Marlin in .35. Unfortunately, I was using jacketed then, but also used IMR 3031. That was in S.C.

    That's a good buck, especially for the deep south. Nice rifle too, you obviously did your homework both with the rifle and loads and hunting that deer. Congratulations.

    Great deer, round and rifle! Nicely done all around! 35 Rem and a nice FP lead boolit have worked very well for me. A few deer and some good sized hogs have been DRT and the rest didn't go far.
    I like that sight, Skinner?

    No it was a pass through first thing I looked for when I walked up on him. I hit exactly where I was aiming in the sholder but he was quartering more than I thought and it exited in his neck not sure exactly what was so dehibilitating but it certainly was. The alloy is essentially WW alloy 3 to 1 pure to lino air cooled.
