It's not every day or even every decade that a new factory ammo offering in 35 rem is offered. I wonder if it will ever actually be available.

Re: this looks interesting
From the product specifications.....
2080 Feet Per Second
If, in real world velocities (20" marlin with microgroove) it actually breaks 2000 fps. with a 220 gr. bullet then that is indeed something worthy of comment.

35 Rem is a great cartridge.
Like many 'oldies', there isn't that much it can't do reasonably well.

Wonder how that bullet would do out of say, a Contender rifle in .357 Maximum.

Re: this looks interesting
You can count on midway to send you an "in stock' notification, then you immediately go to order it and get 'out of stock'. I was a customer 47 years but after 3 times of the in stock/ no stock situation in the last 90 days, I am done with them.
Re: this looks interesting
this was more of a comment on the prospect of a new factory offering for the 35 Rem, not an endorsement of Midway. Midway just happens to be where I saw the ammo listed.
but yes, that's what I thought looked interesting. 220 grain bullet at the same velocity as the standard 200 grain loading. sounds like a thumper.
