Yeah I’ve had a few, a .35 .336 Marlin too.

Actually the 158-180 gr. revolver bullets work great. The old 200 gr. JRN is hard to beat. My Marlin did 1900-1950 fps with it and you can get close with the Super 14. You need to adjust the dies carefully for the TC. Trial size an empty so it just chambers and trips the Contender safety with a little snap. That’s minimal sizing to headspace. Not enough and the gun won’t shoot, too much and brass only lasts 3-5 full power shots. It’s not that tricky and pleasing to get it right.

Bob Milek used the TC in .35 Remington a bunch, took it to Africa! If you can find his old articles it would be really useful info and good reading. I have a .35 Remington barrel a friend gave me! Is a 14” someone reworked to .358 Bellem. Opened up the chamber to the .444 case FL resized in a .358 Win. Die. Long neck thing looks like an overgrown .30/40 Krag. I usually trim the necks in half to form, basically, .356 Winchester to shoot from it. But a critter couldn’t tell it from a .35 Remington. It will push the 200 to about 2300 fps. I’d stick with the Remington, .444 brass is hard to find sometimes.

Gary has some cool .35’s as well if you want more HP. One on the .30-30 and another on the .405 Win. case. Both are notable steps up and sport nice useful rims!

I often shoot cast and jacketed revolver bullets out of my .35’s. But you can over run the lighter bullets. They just vaporize.
