Bought back my Marlin .35 today

Supply and demand … very few people still shoot this cartridge as the demand is low. If a buyer has a supply of ammo, he can name his price as desperate shooters will pay it. The ammo world has been this way for the last 10 years and only getting worse. Certain powders are being sold at $75/pound. Phukin nuts

35 Remington is facing cancelation in the ammo industry.

Starline discontinued their 35 Rem brass, completely removed it from their inventory lineup.

Hornady, Nosler, all of them discontinued their 35 Rem brass production.

As for Remington, who developed the cartridge and kept it alive .... once they declared bk the 35 Rem bullet construction came to an end.

Even as an avid handloader with 10s of 1000s of pieces of brass in my reloading room right now ... I may have a grand total of 200 pieces of 35 Rem brass to process and reload.

As far as pills go, I'll be casting and hitek coating for 35 Rem from here on out. Over the course of the past three years I've probably received 100 discontinued notices for 35 Rem components from all of my favorite suppliers ... Midway, MidSouth, Precision, Graf & Sons, Sportsman's Warehouse, PSA, all of them too many to list.

It's really a shame what they've done to 35 Rem.

Some of us old timers are trying to keep it alive but who knows what will happen once we're gone.

I've got maybe 200 rounds of factory 35 Rem, another few hundred hand loads and then whatever brass I've got out there waiting to be processed and loaded.

35 Rem die sets are getting harder to find ... probably completely out of production now.

If I were to sell my two 336s in 35 Rem, it would be a package deal with the dies, ammo, everything. I doubt I ever will but also doubt that my Son, SiLs or Grandsons will ever truly appreciate the 35 Rems.

Need the story on buying it back.

Long story short...15 years ago the my Ex served me papers. My neighbor waited until the Deputy left and came over. He was always trading for something or buying guns and hit me at just the right time with"What you trading on today" then "whatta ya take for that .35" I wasnt in need for a brush gun at the time sold it to him for $250.00 with the agreement that I got first shot at it for the same price if he ever decided to sell it. He passed away and his son gave me first chance at it so I bought it back
