35 Remington ?

[Hickok]

Iron Brigade, many years ago, I have taken deer and wild hogs with both the Hornady 200 gr RN and the Sierra 200 gr RN in .35 Remington T/C Contender 14" and in a 336 Marlin. Never found a bullet, complete pass-throughs, and quick kills.

But, if I still had a .35 Remington, (sold both but regret it), I would use a good cast boolit!

Once I get north of about 1600 fps. I usually like a check.. if I don't have a checked mold.. I will up the bhn a hair.. but for stuff in the 1800-2400 range.. I really want a gas check if I can.. and the correct good bhn

Thats one of the benefits if Powder Coat.

Softer alloys for faster speeds.

$$& time saved by NOT needing a Gas Check. (As often).

One thing I will say. If a mold is cut for a GC. IT GETS ONE! But because I find them more accurate this way. Not because I"need" one.

Guys when I posted about the jacketed bullets blowing up it was a 270 using 130 grain bullets. I have never fired a 35 Remington but that is about to change

[Soundguy]

I tried powder coat..didnt like it.. It's costlier and longer as an extra step to simply using a sweeter alloy and if needed..a gas check. I discontinued shooting sabot bullets out of a muzzle loader because of all the things to clean out of a barrel.. Plastic is the hardest. Some may love it... I'm not a fan.

[cwlongshot]

You STILL gotta buy lube (or fixins) and EXPENSIVE gas checks.

So "costly" or "expensive" is HORSE PUCKY!

Too long?!?! Really!?!? So someone else installs your GC's and sizes your bullets huh. You dont read the paper or smoke a cigarette/pipe or drink coffee?!? 20 min relax time waitin for the oven ta bake them is a time wasting contraption strenious contraption to watch.

You dont WANT TO. But thats fine too. I know I know the old horse n water thing.

35 Rem amd 358 rem seem to love the RCBS 35-200 FN bullet. Accurate and hard hitting.
PC and run to 2000 fps without a GC. Above 2000 add a check for better accuracy

My Remington 141 circa 1940, RCBS 200 GC Ben's Red lube@ 1800 knocks them down! Shot was 60 yards front on to the shoulder went all the way through exiting the left side just in front of the left hip!

Lube is way cheaper than powder coat supplies and gear... I can make up a lifetime supply of lube for the price of 2 pounds of good powder.. Let alone the gun and oven.
Gas checking costs no time..happens when I lube and size. No cook time.

So..not horse lucky.

By the way..the cheap powder coat powders don't work great...
I'm not retired... And I don't smoke. If I'm drinking coffee..its because I'm working. I'm not relaxing at home on the dole... I work 3 jobs. Setting and watching bullets bake ain't happening for me.

Keep insulting me.. With the horse comments. I've added you to my ignore list. Problem solved

If your mold is cut for a check use one
no sense in going without one and they tend to be more accurate
nothing beats a flat smooth base to a cast boolit
forget velocity concentrate on accuracy cast boolit is useless when you miss the mark
accuracy first then push the speed if you need to that way you have a benchmark to work from
best

[Prodigal Son]

Really, velocity is not important as White Eagle says! I got over the speed obsession years ago, thus the use of cast boolits! As long as it's not fouling the bore, shoot and eat!

Now that's what I'm talking about��
I was looking for a 141 when the marlin came along. I was quite smitten with the 336A and the 35 cartridge.
Thanks for posting

I have insulted no one my friend.

You have been misinformed. But you sound fine with that.

More power to you my friend. Trying to share something where the benefits far out weigh the process. I realize all things don't fit all people.

Would you like to try some PC bullets? I will happily send them to you.

[iron brigade]

Never tried PC but recently started playing with hi tek coating, it is excellent. I'm going to buy a accurate mold with 2 different boolit designs.

One cavity will be the 358315 and the other one will be the rcbs 35-200 copy. I find it interesting that you can run a boolit that fast with accuracy and no leading. That powder coat must be harder than wood pecker lips. I might have to dabble in PC some time.

[Prodigal Son]

You are most welcome, came by it after a friend talked me out of my 1951 Marlin rifle in 35 Remington Ballard groove riflin, waffle top! Shoots amazing groups!

If all you have is a plain base bullet , and hopefully is a wide flat nose shape dong be too worried about max speed with it , lots of deer have been killed with a 357 mag handgun at similar speeds . Develop a solid accurate load put a hole though both lungs and out the other side and you’ll have a dead deer

Your picture brings to mind one of my biggest regrets from the late 1980's. I turned down the chance to buy a very nice condition Model 14 in .35 Remington for $189.

Doesn't sound like much money these days, but to put it in perspective, that was two thirds of a brand new S&W Model 586. Or half of a mid fifties Chevy pickup.

Mine was marked $495. I traded a superposed 20 ga Valmet shotgun for it!

[cwlongshot]

I have a early short barrel W/ factory perp Remington 14 in 35 rem myself. Cherished rifle!! I use the 1950's 760 more.
