I "roll my own" ammo so finding ammo is not a problem.

If its anything like my 30 remington...good luck finding bullets.35 is more popular than 30 and made in marlin lever actions for years, not as difficult to get ammo for
I love mine. Had it for 20+years. I bought hornady leveroution (sp) bullets for it. I want to replace the stock for it but can't seem to find anyone who carries them anymore.you didn't mention what brand of firearm you have but check here for replacement stocks

It has great versatility as you can load .358 pistol bullets, I used 148gr Double Ended Wadcutters over a light charge of powder(load is in the Lyman manual) for squirrel hunting. 200gr RN's at 2000fps make pretty good stopping rounds.

Roy was a good hunter, he was a family friend that come over every hunting season and camped on our place. He was a full blood Cherokee that lived in the Snohomish area, that's where the bear was shot. He was of a quiet serious nature, but if the mood struck and the camp fire was right he would share some experiences. I was to young to hunt with him but he became my hero, he knew the woods as well as my Dad. Roy never went home without his deer. He carried a 35 remington slide action and could shoot it.
One sunny afternoon Dad and Roy were going out for an evening hunt and allowed me to tag along, we were walking across this big opening with one big old pine tree, there was a magpie sitting in the top, all of a sudden Roy threw up his rifle, boom, the magpie started tumbling through the limbs, boom Dad hit it with the 32 special, boom Roy got it again, boom Dad finished it off before it hit the ground. Neither one of these guys were show off's, just got a funny bug I guess, sure impressed a 10 year old boy.
I'm not sure but I think bear were like varmints in those days, you could get them any time.

Here is the photo........I was waiting to confirm with Idabooner if it was in fact a .35 I think I found out that it was...

Very accurate to 100 yards then drops off fast. But over here on the wet side who needs it to reach beyond that anyways?

I've been eyeballing it for a while....
He's bagged some pretty big elk with it
