Remington has reacted to the "late great ammo run" of the last few years like everyone else, they've taken everything but the most common 5-10 top sellers (9mm, 45acp, 223, 243, 270, 7mag, 30-30 & 30-06) & now are producing the rest of their line up in limited/seasonal runs. The 35 Rem 200cl is as classic as Cadillac tail fins & ball park hotdogs but boy finding ammo for it this year has been spotty at best! For actual hunting in my 1968 336RC (gdad handed his down to me as a teen in the mid-80s) lastyear I switched to the 220grn Buffalo Bore loads but even those are hard to find & certainly much more expensive.

I would've NEVER thought finding ammo for my ol 35 was gonna be tough! But the hooplah around the gun grabbers & the sudden influx of "modern shooters" & their silly collection of black pistols & AR style guns, has sure changed the landscape for "the rest of us". Sometimes I feel like the shooting industry has turned it's back on us conventional/traditional gunners! (The ONLY auto pistols I own & care to own more of are 1911s & I doubt I'll EVER own an AR style, the damn things feel like metal bricks in the hand. If I feel compelled to own a "black rifle" I'd just as soon have an ol AK or SKS in a KILLING caliber instead of a WOUNDING caliber)

I'm so sick of the ammo shortages of late that I've decided I'm going BACK to reloading after a 2 decade hiatus from it. I still have all my equipment, just need a few new components & I'll once again be free from the marketing whims of the ammo makers!
