Cool

If you don't reload then you do not want the custom ammo on the market - most all of it recoils a lot more than the factory 200 loads. What you should try is the standard Remington 150SP factory load. Contrary to the remarks made by those who have never used it on game, this ammo performs very well on deer out to about 100-125 yards in a handgun, 150+ yards in a rifle. It has much less recoil than the 200-grain stuff.

I reload the 150s to 2340 fps in my 14" Contender with great results, but the recoil approaches the factory 200s at that point. I would recommend that you not bother with pistol bullets in the .35 Remington as they will be overdriven and can give poor penetration. Load them down enough to stay together and you might as well sell the .35 and buy a .357 Magnum barrel....
