Rimmed 350 Legend?

So it's a really, really slow 30-30. Snoresville.

I believe this is designed for those states that require a straight wall case to hunt with.

It should be a marginally better than using a slug shotgun.

Depends on the distance.

What was old is new again.

Remington still offer a pump action centerfire rifle?

35-30 has been around since about 1900...Nothing new

Except the 35-30 has a tiny little neck and might be disallowed as a "straight wall" cartridge

Straight or not is no one's business.

Straight or not is no one's business.

Shouldn't be, and the lack of thought (or lack of) behind it is antiquated but at least you don't have to use a shotgun

It's actually a bit faster than a 35 Remington with similar bullet weights.
Seems to me it's like a 38-55 loaded to higher pressures, based on a necked up 30-30 case.
The straight wall rule has really bumped firearm sales in the states that were primarily shotgun states for hunting deer.

Neat.

I would much rather see....more existing ammo made , on the store shelves....and at a lower price.

I'm doin' the best I can but they keep passin' stupid laws that make everyone go out and buy wheelbarrow loads of guns and every new gun needs at least 2 boxes of ammo.

Well....When I get the funds , I will be asking about shipping and such for .45 ACP , 230 grain Full Jacketed.....

Sounds like Remington is trying to develop a new income stream. It's shiny and new, must be better, your old cartridge is now obsolete.

The real stupid laws are the ones that restrict hunters in a few states to using shotguns to hunt things everyone else gets to use rifles for on the outdated belief that somehow slugs or buckshot pose less of a 'downrange' risk
