These have been great out of the 30-30 marlin have used them for quite some time with great success. I inherited my grandad's 35 so .make sure you give the report if you try them.

Thanks for all the answers. I ordered four boxes from Bass Pro. They were pretty salty at $48.00 a box but it will keep family members hunting with the old 336 for a while.






I'll be sighting in/re-zeroing with the new ammo for sure. Just as soon as we use up the last of the Core-Lokts.

ADC, I'm thinking the extra 800 FPS the .35 has over the .44 makes a difference in terminal performance/expansion. According to most of the guys above it does.

I've always used 165 grain jacketed HP's (Core-Lokts) in my .357 for deer. At first I was worried about under-penetration but they will go right thru a broadside/rib cage shot deer and leave a good-size exit wound.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be an issue for me.

I own a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington and all I use is LEVERevolution. It is extremely accurate and hammers deer and pigs.

I use them in my Marlin 336 in 35 rem. Mine is a 1950! It does seem like a sin to use them but they work fine for me.

If you have a feeding issue there's a replacement follower you can install, I think it's mainly 35's and 45-70s that some have an issue with.

I have no problems with expansion or terminal ballistics on deer or pigs. A good example is this doe I shot. That is lung on her shoulder. It blew both lungs completely out of her. The other picture is on of her shoulders.

Yes. Very well could be, that is why I said what I did in my first sentence. I don't have any first hand knowledge from them in other calibers. Just thought, since they were brought up, I'd mention how they preform in a .44 for anyone wondering. Thanks for mentioning that. I should of added it to my post.

… well hopefully you’ll do better next time… everyone’s getting pretty tired of it

I'll try harder. I'd hate for you to have to open a can of whoopass on me.

… I keep an aerosol spray can full of know it all Iowa yankee whoopass in the bed of my truck

I hav an older marlin 336 30-30 microgroove and it does NOT like the lever evolution at all. I was lucky to keep a pie pan. I was really hoping it would work.

Reloaded with some 170 round nose and got a super accurate load.

Works with some guns, not with others.

Good luck.

Boy I thought that I did good at $65 after seeing them for sale here for $85 last year. $48 is a better deal, but I probably bought enough to last my life time......jk

I've not been around them in a 35, but I've seen them used quite a bit on bears in 30-30, 45/70, 450 Marlin and 444 Marlin. At least in the last three (45/70 and 450 in particular) they were bad to blow apart and grenade. Hit a big bone and you are likely to have little pieces of copper and lead scattered all over. They did kill good and are much flatter shooting than flatnosed rounds though. I never used them myself, but several friends did and I have guided a number of people also who used them. Several of them gave me their used 45/70 brass, you can load other brands of bullets in it fine, but it is a tenth of an inch shorter, which creates two problems. A)less case capacity so the same amount of powder loaded in a Hornady case as compared to a Starline, Remington, etc., creates significantly higher pressure. B)If you aren't using Hornady dies it is likely that your dies will not adjust down to roll crimp the case (I know my Lee dies will not) this can be an issue in a tube magazine.

I don't like the brass for that reason, and I would be leery of using the smaller calibers, particularly on larger, tougher game like elk, if they have the same tendency to grenade as the large calibers do.

I shoot jacketed hollow points in my Ruger 44 carbine and they expand just like those. Very deadly. High chest, low chest, neck. None of the deer go more than 18 inches straight down in a pile. The bullet ends up just under the hide on the opposite side. Some claim that they prefer an exit hole for blood trailing. I don't ever have a blood trailing problem. I just roll the deer over. It's all right there underneath it.
That bullet in that caliber blows the lungs out better than Joe Biden's infamous 9mm. I'd guess that the 35 Remington would perform very similarly.
