The 7.35 Italian is actually a pretty darned good little cartridge. It would make a really good Eastern US deer rifle cartridge. It's in the same power range as the .30-30 Winchester but has better ballistics due to the bullet shape.

The ones I have shot have been extremely pleasant. A bit more kick than the 6.5s, but overall a very soft shooting cartridge.
