Introduced in 1906, the 35 Remington is the last survivor of a family of rimless cartridges Remington developed for their Model 8 semiautomatic rifle. Although "paper ballistics" are unimpressive, with a 200-grain bullet at 2080 feet per second, the 35 Remington is a legendary "big woods" cartridge for deer and black bear. It was chambered to many early bolt-actions and some lever-actions and slide-actions. Marlin's 336 is the last factory rifle so chambered. The 35 Remington is very efficient in short barrels, so it got a new lease on life in bolt-action and single-shot "specialty pistols." At close range it still a hard-hitting cartridge, a fine close cover cartridge and especially excellent for feral hogs.
