performance wise the .357 magnum will come close velocity about the same but with a slightly lighter bullet (158 grain versis 188grain) a 30-30 will do everything the 35 Remington will do the 45 lc or 44 Mag will out perform the 35

Hi Shaun, the .35 caliber family, at least in North America, includes the .357 Magnum, .35 Remington, .356 Winchester, .358 Winchester, .35 Whelen, .350 Remington Magnum and .358 Norma Magnum. That list, by the way, is in ascending order of power. The .35 Remington is basically a deer and black bear (CXP2 class game) cartridge, although it is reputed to be superior to cartridges in the .30-30 class for game weighing over about 400 pounds. For deer the venerable 30-30 is plenty sufficient especially with the Hornady LeverEvolution loads.
