Buying an early 1950s Marlin in .35 Remington. This one has a 24-inch barrel, something I prefer on lever guns. I've always yawned and moved on when I came across the old 1906 development, but now that I am getting older and slower, I find myself liking my rifles the same way. I hear the old scallop-nosed 200-grain Remington CoreLokt is still a tough bullet to beat for handloading this old timer, so that's what I aim to try first.

Yes of course , any cartridge that's 100 + years old must be better !! It's actually better than the 30-30 since it punches a bigger hole .It's been very popular in NY and other areas where shots are fairly short range. Sadly it's not marketed otherwise they'd sell more .Any of the 200 gr bullets will work fine. Enjoy !!

it will be just fine in the 35. The gun will probably amaze you with good groups too.

Bill,

I have two Marlin 336A's in .35 (the 24" barrel version). All I've shot are the 200 grain factory loads.

Love the rifles and the caliber!

Marlin in 35 Remington with 200 grain bullets. It knocked the hog out cold. This was the first big animal that I have killed with that rifle and I was impressed.
