Think of the 35 Rem as a 357 Magnum Magnum. The diameter is the same - just a heck of a lot more power.

I am new to hunting and have taken 4 deer, all with the 35 Rem at 100 yards, 120 yards, 155 yards and 160 yards. Three dropped (all CNS shots) and the other ran maybe 40 yards with a double lung shot.
