I don't think I can answer all your questions, but I once had a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. I loved it. Still can't come to grips with the logic that led me to sell it. It was as good a deer killer as I've ever had, with range being the only limiter. I was good to 150 with that rifle and made a few shots out past 250. So buy it, put a 4 power scope and a sling on it, and go forth to the deer woods or your favorite plinking spot.
I never loaded pistol bullets in the reloaded ammo, so I can't comment on that. Had I thought of it, I would have tried it.
