Default RE: 30-30 lever or 35rem marlin336c .. the winner is??

I used a .35 rem for many years when I first started hunting.I killed alot of deer with it but they almost always ran a long way,despite being solidly hit in the vitals.I also witnessed many killed with the same caliber by my father and brother with the same results.More than half the time there wasn't an exit wound,especially if one or more shoulders were hit.

For the life of me I can't figure out why people think this caliber is sucha cannon.It certainly will not stop a house.We're talking about a 200 gr bullet going less than 2000 fps out of a 20 inch barell.It's obsolete for a reason.
