A colleague of mine was here over the holidays and he's swinging back through on his way home to California. He's fallen for a model 94 in 35/30 that I have. His plan is to hunt with it, so I started looking into lead-free options that are safe for a tubular magazine. I have none, and no experience with the rifle outside of cast and a few of the 200gr FTX. He's not a reloader, but picked up a few hundred pieces of brass and primers, and will get powder for the project.
Does anyone have experience with any of the 35 caliber bullets in your 35 Remington or similar?
My general load has been 205gr bullets going around 1800fps and a 300gr at about 1475fps.
I tried a few 155gr pistol bullets with atrocious accuracy.
Thank you
