.35rem Ammo in stock?

I've never had a problem finding core loks at Wall mart.

35 Rem, 7mm-08 and basic .270 are in short supply around here.

This question comes up a lot of forums. About the difficulty in finding certain ammo.

As you didn`t say where you live it`s hard to advise . Go on line, plenty to be had. Course there is an age requirement to buy ammo.

Seems to me the real problem was poor planning on your part. Nothing like waiting till the 12 hour to wake up.

I had trouble finding that caliber last year, and ended up reloading for it. Hope you saved your cases.

There are some gun shops hereabouts that have .35 Remington in stock. I acquired a 336 in that caliber a few years back and bought brass, powder and dies to reload.
The .35 is a great woods cartridge and it would be sad to see it's demise.

Just moved back to Pa and scowered all the local shops for .35 rem.. Found a box of Hornady Revolution but they were all over the paper at 100 yards. Two weeks ago I was in a LGS in Florida and found a box of Rem Core Locs. Was at the range thursday and boy what a difference! The owner of the LGS told me that the Hornady Revolutions do not shoot good out of a micro grooved barrel. After shooting them I tend to agree.

Sad to hear that as the Hornady stuff shoots really great in my rifle.
I still prefer my reloads however and I'm still able to purchase Remington Core-Lokts in that calibre.
I'm carrying my .35 lately in Penns Woods , mostly because it's lighter than a Model 70 Winchester and the deer have responded.

Yes Sav.250 poor planning on my part, I just never dreamed that many people shot .35rem.
Leverevolutions were what I shot before and they were great but at this point I'll take anything.


Thanks all for the replys

There probably aren't. It's likely that it's such an unpopular round that manufacturers focus production efforts on the most popular rounds (especially coming out of the big shortage of 2012-2014) and that existing stocks of .35 Rem just gradually dried up without being replaced.

It's a shame that round isn't more appreciated as it does what it's intended to extremely well without too much recoil. No, it's no .308 or .30-06 in terms of energy levels, but it easily beats out all of the new darling AR rounds that are gaining popularity among deer hunters.

Gunbroker has listings for 35 Remington ammo for sale. But grab onto your wallet. Starting prices are $50.00 for 20 rounds.

I have found that .35 Rem is regional...

Specifically, the North East for deer, and pockets in the South where they know that it is good medicine for hogs...

Been a seasonal run for the ammo companies for decades...

I know how hard it can be to find the ammo for older rifles vc.
Try finding 32 Winchester Special these days...

I inherrited a Marlin 336C in .35 Rem about 2 years ago. It is not a popular cartridge and hard to find around my area. Lucky that I don't shoot it much. Still, it's a good cartridge but not popular.

But, you could say that about a lot of cartridges that have become obsolete.

Amazes me anyone still uses a .35 Rem. Why not a 40-60?

The difference being that .32SPCL is readily formed by simply running .30-30 through a .32spcl sizing die...

.35 Rem has no simple forming from other cases (though it can be done)...

.35 Rem is hardly "obsolete"...

When you have the top three major players in the ammo biz making seasonal runs (Rem, Win, Hornady), a cartridge can not possibly be considered obsolete...

Maybe those people know something you don't know...

I preferred the 200gr Corlokts till they were bought out by Cerebus. Now, the previous easily available and inexpensive bullets (components) are twice as expensive as Sierra's or Speer's and unavailable at any price for the last 3yrs.

I've gotten poor expansion from the Hornady's and Speer's, loosing deer with both.
I remedied the lack of .35cal bullets by:
1. Broke down and bought $80 RCBS mold for 200gr FNGC (a bargain, actually!),
2. Impulse purchase Ruger Mod-77/357. Getting 2,050fps from 158gr JSP and 1.5moa. Weighs 2lbs less than the Marlin...

I've had excellent accuracy from the 200gr FTX (over hot-handload with H4895, and factory equivalent load of LVR; but bullets fail to expand at 25yds on deer w/2,300fps m/v.).
I've never bought any 'factory' ammo for a .35 and never will.....

I've been having a heck of a time finding 35 Remington for my Model 8. I've had a notification set up with Midway for months but they haven't received any. I did find some vintage stuff through gunbroker but I'm hoping to hang on to that if modern production ammo can be found. I've actually had a much easier time finding 32 Win Spl online for my Winchester 94. I'm set up to reload fro both rounds, but I was hoping to find some more modern brass for 35 Remington.

Natchez Shooters Supply has 35 rem and bass pro did have it .

I haven't seen any Remington CoreLokt lately and the only 35 rem I saw a few months ago was Hornady. Its a great round. Haven't seen any brass either.

There is a 'guy' (that I am in no way affiliated with) over at CastBoolits.com that is turning out usable .35 Rem brass by converting military ".308" brass...

I have not purchased any yet, but those that have, say it is strong, and a well done conversion...

There is also a member here with old posts who posted his method of making .35 Rem brass from .308...

Member name is BruceB...

Found his method, but the full description was from Cast Boolits:

.32 Special is plentiful. My LGS has a bunch, Cabela's and Bass Pro usually have on the shelves in the store, and They have it available online right now.

Now what you said about older rifles is inaccurate, 35 Remington rifles are still in production.

That is why mine mostly sits in the safe.
