.35 Rem Rifle Brass

Said to be the perfect gun for the bushman, seeing as it shoots a large bullet easily through thickets at such a velocity that will bring even the big bucks down, the .35 Remington (.35 REM for short) is one of the oldest rounds commercially produced by Remington. It first saw production in 1906, originally being chambered in the Remington model 8 semi-auto. Over the years, many of the major firearms manufacturers have produced rifles in the .35 Rem round, with the most popular today being the Marlin Model 336.

Seeing as the .35-cal bullet had no competition from other manufacturers at the time, it quickly prospered among backwoods hunters. In 1936, Remington began producing the Model 81 rifle to replace the Model 8. To increase its popularity, Remington produced an advertisement showing the ability of the .35 Remto penetrate a 5/16” steel plate; the ad compared it with the .30-30 from Winchester, which was unable to penetrate the plate. The downfall with the .35 Rem, when used with the original ball bullet, is its inability to reach long distances. This is, however, perfect for those hunters in dense wooded areas, who have to trust their round to accurately penetrate through small brush and thickets.

Each box contains 25 once fired brass shell casings. Headstamps are mixed. This is unprocessed brass sourced from commercial shooting ranges. The casings have been washed and polished, but not resized and may still contain the spent primer. It is recommended that all brass be inspected prior to being reloaded and fired.
