Already in the freezer.

Shot with an old Marlin 336 .35 Remington at around 50 yards. Been in my family for 3 generations now.

Not pleased with the performance of the 200 grain .35 Remington ammo I used. It worked, but the bullet did not expand. The exit wound was relatively small for a 200 grain bullet (less than 1 inch). The deer ran about 60 yards into the woods, and there was no blood we could find to follow.

Gonna get some hornady 200 grain leverevolution rounds with better expansion. Probably have better results.

Pretty happy with getting one though.
