Looking for best powder and bullet suggestion for the 35 Remington, any help would be appreciated.

As above, 44.0 grains LVR and either the 200 Hornady or Remington - 2200 fps from my barrel. The CoreLokt is the better hunting bullet by far, but inside 100 yards or a bit more the Hornady works. The latter is more accurate in my 18.5” barrel - sub moa if you can believe it - but the Remington is plenty accurate for deer to 200 yards. Don’t try the Hornady that far.

The 200 grain Hornady FTX bullet over 42.0 grains of LVR works well in my 336. The Sierra 200 grain RN over a healthy charge of IMR 3031 is another good choice. As distance increases to over 100 yards the FTX retains velocity/energy much better. Both bullet expand well in my testing.
