Heavy .35 Remington: made for woods hunting and real impact
The .35 Remington has earned its reputation as a close-to-mid-range powerhouse—especially in classic lever actions where quick handling and decisive terminal performance matter more than long-range trajectory. Buffalo Bore’s Heavy Strictly Business approach is designed to take that proven cartridge and load it with a heavy, purpose-built bullet so you can get the most out of your rifle when the shot is fast and the animal is close.
This is the kind of load chosen by hunters who want:
A premium, performance-focused .35 Rem option
Strong penetration through shoulder and tough angles
Reliable bullet behavior at woods ranges
A cartridge tailored to traditional lever-gun strengths
220gr SJFP: classic flat point design with serious momentum
This load uses a 220-grain Semi Jacketed Flat Point (SJFP) bullet—one of the most time-tested projectile types for lever-action hunting. The flat point profile is important for two reasons:
Safe feeding in many tubular magazines (where pointed bullets can be unsafe)
Reliable terminal performance with a broad meplat that hits hard and drives straight
The semi-jacketed construction adds durability, helping the bullet hold together while still delivering effective terminal behavior on game.
At 220 grains, you’re getting a heavy-for-caliber projectile designed to carry momentum and penetrate—exactly what .35 Rem hunters value for thick woods and bigger-bodied animals.
Built for lever actions: dependable feeding and practical hunting use
The .35 Remington lives in lever rifles for a reason: it cycles fast, hits hard, and performs extremely well in real-world hunting distances. This Buffalo Bore load is built around a bullet profile that lever guns are designed to feed smoothly—making it an excellent match for classic rifles used for:
Whitetail and mule deer in timber
Hogs in brush and thick cover
Black bear hunting in close terrain
Tracking and still-hunting where shots come fast
