loads for 35 Remington?

Big Dan

I found a Mohawk at the LGS in 35 Remington. I had a Marlin 336 of same caliber but could not pass on a rifle I have coveted since the 60'. Probably gave to much for the Remington but I'm sure this community will understand. Will miss the Marlin, it killed a lot of deer.
My problem is, I had a prescription of CCI large rifle primer, 35.4g IMR-3031 and a sierra 200g RN which gave me 1-1/2 inch groups out of the 22" Marlin.
The Remington has an 18" barrel. I checked the recommended loads for a 14" handgun (TC) but applicable to XP-100 which is the same action. and they are a couple of grains off where I could find same bullet and powder.
I would like to use 180g spire point since I don't have to worry about primer detonation in a tubular magazine.
I also have 600 in 308 which is a flame thrower with longer barrel loads and if your teeth aren't clinched will loosen a few fillings. Neither have recoil pads.
Should I split the difference between the 22 and 14 inch barrel loads to minimize the flame thrower or go with the Marlin loads and just grin and bear it ?
And any recommendations on recoil pads for the beasts that can be installed without a lot of work.

I had a lot of fun with the .35 Remington in my younger years. Used it in a TC Contender and took quite a few hogs with it.

It was before my hand loading days, so I mostly used factory PMC 200gr RNSP ammo.

Thanks for the link to the site !
The 35 Rem is a tremendous cartridge. I took a number of deer in east Texas and always found award of copper and lead just under the hide on the exit side of the deer. A common occurrence with most hunters I met.
Again thanks.
Edit-- wish I could type......

If it's me, I would stick with a 200 grain bullet. If you want to shoot 180 grain Spitzers or Spire points you have a 30-06. Why compromise the beauty of a 35 cal. by going down in bullet weight? It's not a long range rifle anyway and even a 200 grain round nose will give you hog killing ballistics out to 150-200 yards. Save the longer shots for your 06s. But up close and personal take advantage of the full potential of a .35 cal. bullet.
