The Enduring Legacy of the .35 Remington Cartridge

The .35 Remington cartridge holds a special place in American hunting lore. Introduced in 1906, it quickly became a favorite for its effective balance of power, moderate recoil, and suitability for lever-action rifles. It’s a straight-walled cartridge, known for its superb performance in classic firearms like the Marlin 336 and Remington Model 8/81. For decades, it has been the go-to choice for countless deer hunters in the Eastern and Southern United States, excelling in the kind of brushy, close-range environments where its characteristics truly shine.

What makes the .35 Remington so enduringly popular?

• Optimal for Lever-Action Rifles: Its design is perfectly suited for tubular magazines, making it safe and reliable in the quintessential American hunting rifle.
• Balanced Power: It delivers substantial energy for medium game without the punishing recoil associated with larger magnum cartridges, allowing for quicker follow-up shots and more comfortable shooting sessions.
• Brush-Busting Capability: While no bullet truly "busts" through heavy brush without deflection, the .35 Remington's heavier, slower bullets tend to be less prone to deflection than lighter, faster projectiles, making it a favorite for dense woods hunting.
• Deep Penetration: Even at moderate velocities, the heavy bullets are designed to penetrate deeply enough to reach vital organs on game animals.

For anyone asking, "What's the best caliber for deer hunting in thick woods?" or "Which ammunition performs well in my vintage .35 Remington rifle?", the answer often circles back to this classic cartridge, especially when loaded with a premium bullet like the Core-Lokt.

Unleashing the "Deadliest Mushroom": Remington Core-Lokt Technology

At the heart of the Remington R35R2 ammunition lies the legendary Core-Lokt bullet – often dubbed "The Deadliest Mushroom" for its consistent and devastating expansion. Since its introduction in 1939, Core-Lokt has been the gold standard for reliable hunting bullets, earning the trust of generations of hunters.

What makes Core-Lokt bullets so effective?

• Locked Core Construction: The lead core is mechanically locked to the copper jacket. This innovative design prevents core-jacket separation upon impact, ensuring that the bullet retains most of its weight as it penetrates, leading to a deeper wound channel and increased energy transfer.
• Controlled Expansion: The soft point (SP) nose is designed to initiate rapid and dramatic expansion upon striking tissue. This expansion creates a large wound cavity, quickly incapacitating the animal and promoting humane, ethical kills. Despite its rapid expansion, the locked core ensures the bullet doesn't fragment excessively, maintaining a significant portion of its mass for continued penetration.
• Devastating Terminal Performance: The combination of controlled expansion and deep penetration delivers tremendous stopping power, making this 200-grain Soft Point bullet highly effective on a wide range of game animals.

When you're asking, "What ammunition offers the best balance of expansion and penetration for hunting?", the answer is often Remington Core-Lokt. It consistently delivers the reliable on-game performance that serious hunters demand.

Real-World Performance: Where Core-Lokt R35R2 Excels

The Remington Core-Lokt .35 Remington 200 Grain Soft Point ammunition is engineered for superior performance in various hunting scenarios, ensuring you're prepared for the moment of truth.

Deer Hunting Excellence

For many, the .35 Remington is synonymous with deer hunting. The 200-grain Core-Lokt Soft Point is an exceptional choice for:

• Whitetail Deer: Whether you're hunting typical field deer or the larger-bodied northern whitetails, this round delivers ample energy and expansion to ensure quick, clean kills. Its performance within 150-200 yards is outstanding.
• Mule Deer: While often found in more open terrain, mule deer in timbered areas are well within the capabilities of this cartridge.
• Ethical Kills: The reliable expansion and deep penetration ensure that vital organs are effectively disrupted, minimizing tracking distances and promoting humane harvesting.

Effectiveness on Larger Game

Don't let the .35 Remington's "medium game" reputation limit your perception. With the 200-grain Core-Lokt, it’s also a viable option for:

• Black Bear: At closer ranges, particularly in baiting or still-hunting scenarios, the heavy 200-grain bullet provides sufficient energy and penetration for black bears. Many experienced bear hunters rely on this cartridge.
• Wild Hogs: The resilient nature of wild hogs requires a bullet that can penetrate tough hide and bone. The Core-Lokt's robust construction handles this challenge effectively.
• Elk and Moose (at close ranges): While not typically considered a primary elk or moose cartridge, numerous accounts attest to its effectiveness on these larger animals when shot placement is precise and ranges are kept short (under 100 yards). Its heavy bullet and good sectional density allow for deep penetration into vital areas.

Ideal Hunting Environments

The R35R2 ammunition is particularly well-suited for specific hunting environments:

• Brush Country and Dense Timber: The .35 Remington's characteristics make it an excellent "brush gun" cartridge. Its heavier, slower bullet is less likely to be deflected by twigs and light brush than high-velocity, lightweight projectiles, though precise shot placement is always paramount.
• Close to Mid-Range Engagements: Optimized for performance out to approximately 200 yards, it's perfect for most Eastern and Midwestern hunting conditions where long-range shots are rare.
• Lever-Action Rifle Use: It’s the quintessential load for popular lever-action rifles, providing reliable feeding and performance in these iconic firearms.

When considering, "What's the best ammunition for hunting black bear with a lever-action rifle?" or "How does the .35 Remington perform in thick woods?", Remington Core-Lokt R35R2 provides a definitive, high-performance answer.
