The last deer I shot with the .35 Remington was with a Contender Carbine backnin '94, I believe. It was my then biggest buck to date. I was hunting a scrape line on a logging road and he came along checking his scrapes. After freshening one up, he stood up on his hind legs to rake the overhanging branches. I shot him in the sternum as he stood on two legs facing me. He fell over backwards, got up and ran a very short distance before expiring. A once in a lifetime shot angle.

Since then, I've taken a few hogs including a double with one shot.........intentionally! Waited until they lined up and put a 200gr round nose through both of them. Another rare occupancy. Again with the .34 Remington.

I have a fun history with this cartridge.
