I have been using a version of the 35 Remington since we went to the 1.8" cases. I use a 30-40 Krag case reformed in a 35 Remington neck die, trimmed to 1.8" and then fireformed with 180gr cast bullets. I then load them for hunting with a 180gr Hornady SSP over 40+gr of Leverevolution. I have taken over 10 deer with it so far and all have been complete pass throughs. I use it in a first generation stainless T/C Contender with a MGM 16.25" barrel and Choate folding stock. The whole thing fits in my backpack.
