Any way to improve the shooting distance and accurcy of this caliber

How far are you looking to shoot and at what?
What is your current set up?

If your's is in the Remington 7600 pump gun it can be reloaded to higher pressures than what is reccomended for lever guns. I have some super 35 Remington loads that were done by Layne Simpson for a 7600. I mean were talkiing about pushing a 200 grain bullet to 2300 FPS or better depending on barrel length.

start shootin 150 gr bullets

IM shootin the 200 grain remington loads and dont feel comfortable taking shots over 100 yards or so.. Hunt in fields sometimes where my shots need to be extended to about 200 yards.. I have a remington modle 141 gamemaster and a marlin 336 lever both in 35 rem

 

[Allen Glore]

The Marlin 336 is a fairly strong action. It was chambered in both the 375 and 356 Winchester cartridges. Both of those cartridges are 50,000-52,000 PSI cartridges. You could load the 35 a little hotter than factory rounds in the 336 but you would not want to put those same loads through the 141. You would have to figure out a way to seperate the ammo so as to not get the wrong ammo in the wrong firearm. Another way to improve it would be to shoot 180 grain cast bullets if you are a reloader. Stay away from the 150 grain bullets as they are not designed for deer sized animals.

ive dropped many deer in there tracks with the 150s with my 336 out to 150 yds or better. just plain rem core loke

Anyone have any info on reloading the 35 rem plz help... would rather stick with this gun but may consider a new rifle..

 

[Allen Glore]

I've reloaded the 35 Rem. when I owned my T/C Contender and had a barrel in 35. What kind of loads are you looking for?

 

[dajumboman]

specific loads that will increase the accuracy out to around 200 yards, which will probley be lighter than the 200 grain hogs i shoot now

 

[Allen Glore]

Increasing the accuracy with reloads is pretty subjective considering that the rifle may or may not like the reloads. Each firearm is it's own entity and what was accurate in my firearm may not be accurate in yours. What powders, primers and bullets do you have at this time?

 

[Ed Michrina]

my Savage shoots 150 grains all over the target but is right on with 200 grains.

any web sites that deal with balistic and reloading will help
