In my opinion, the 35 Rem. does do a better job on deer sized game than a 30-30 Win., and given a choise, i'd pick it over a 30-30 every time "if", my shots were 100 yards or less.

I had a friend shat shot one heck of a lot of animials in Alaska with his scoped TC Contender pistol, chambered 35 Rem., includeing Dall sheep, caribou, moose ect... He really liked it, and said it did a great job.

It "isn't" that i don't like a 30-30 Win., it's just that the 35 Rem. seems to do a better job..
