When I first started deer hunting 39 years ago I shot a .30-30 with 170 grain bullets which I think most people still use. The .35 is larger in diameter so I would be tempted to shoot a more elongated bullet which is the 200 grain.

I use to handload .35 Rem for my Contender (prior to a house robbery). Can't remember the actual weight (125 or 150) but we always used Hornady XTP Pistol Bullets instead of the rifle bullet design (.357 cal). They did the trick.
