Jim, The 35 caliber is not as popular as other calibers. The choice of bullets for reloading is also limited but I like the idea of a large caliber for the bush. The large caliber will stand more of a chance as a brush gun then a small and fast caliber. I’m going to be hunting this year with the 350 Rem. mag and I’m looking forward to it and I have it just as a brush gun. My shots will be in the range from 50 to 200 yards and the 350 rem. mag will do just fine.

As bigbull mentioned you should maybe look at other caliber's for your first gun. Look up the caliber's he mentioned, they are popular and the ammo is readily available. Good Luck.
