There are three different types here, and I'm not sure which is best for whatever application. My grandfather just left this guy behind, and I haven't shot it yet. 35 Remington is pretty hard to come by too, so I'm not really at liberty to experiment a bunch.

A little warning coming from experience. I would make a suggestion for you. If you keep this gun do not even keep it in the same house as a 30-30. If you also have a 30-30 I would suggest getting rid of one of them. The ammo for each look very similar. Almost the same size. The 30-30 round can be loaded and chambered. They will Not ride down the barrel correctly! Had a guy that I knew when we were young. He got his dad's 30-30 ammo mixed up with his 35 rounds. When he fired the wrong round it blew the barrel apart right about where his hand was! He lost parts of a few fingers! Almost lost his whole hand! It would just be best not to even have both kinds in the same house!

Noted. I will be keeping this gun, so I'll just probably not bother with getting a 30-30.

It looks like it was made for the marlin lever action 35, has a 200gr projectile, I would expect its called heavy, due to a heavier than normal projectile or being fired by a bit hotter than normal load, or both, which was the reason for the labeling on the packages that says specific rifles. Other rifles at the time may not have been able to withstand the chamber pressure. A heavy weight projectile without a larger powder load wouldnt increase chamber pressure though.

All of that is speculative, as I have no specific experience with that gun or ammo.

There are three different rounds. The "heavy" one is 220 grain and looks like the fattest projectile of the three. The Hornady round has a pointy plastic tip, and it's 200 grain. The Remington "high velocity" rounds are 150 grain with a pointy lead tip.

a 150 gr is lighter than a 220 gr projectile. I would suspect there is a bit heavier load behind it to propel it sufficiently.

They are pretty good brush buckers.

The 35 Remington is like the big brother of the 30-30. Able to sling a heavier bullet it delivers more energy than 30-30.

The Hornady ammo has the plastic tip so you get better aerodynamic performance but it's safe to use in a tubular magazine. There is a chance that pointed bullets can set the next one off in the tube.

The Remington Core Lokt rounds are just hunting rounds. Will straight fuck up a deer, hog, or black bear. The buffalo bore are just hot loaded with a heavy bullet for extra punch.

. 35 came about when 30.30 barrels were shot out and then rechambered

That's great, good stuff. Tell me more.

People have been known to shoot them.

No, nobody shot these yet. See, the bullets are still in the casings.

I'm guessing the 220 grain would be my deer round, and the little pointy 150 grain is going to be for target practice? Not sure what the plastic tips are for. They're 200 grain.
