Yes, in the Contender carbine and pistol and a 336 Marlin. Excellent brush round in the Marlin lever gun for eastern hunting deer and black bear and pigs out to say 150 or less.

Contender stretches out the range somewhat with the ability of pointed projectiles in a single shot action and loading it to a bit higher pressure than factory rounds.

If you reload, use the Remington factory 200 RN's, they are expressly made for the ballistics of this round in a lever gun. Only drawback is factory rounds are somewhat loaded down due to the Remington 8 and 81 autos still out there to work in the semi auto actions without breaking them.

JMHO FWIW

You also have the Hornady Evolution ammo out there now I think for this round.

Thanks for the info. I'm not committed to the .35 Rem, but seems in the ball park for me, and if I can get the one that available locally at a good price, I'll go for it.
