I would think so, but that seems like a thing to check with the appropriate state laws. I’m personally unsure if the 1.8” rule applies to the overall cartridge length or the brass length. If it’s overall length, you must be close to .45LC length, no?

Case length.

There are a couple of us on here that have went through the 1.8 cut down .45-70 for deer regulations. I did for the years that were regulated that way. I loaded the cut down .45-70 using a Barnes 250gr .45-70 hollow point and 1680 powder to a velocity of 2400 FPS. It worked very well and was accurate also. It can be done.
Have a great day.

... 25, 30, 32, 35 Rem ... 356, 358 Win RIP ... will the 360 Buckhammer break the 35 caliber jinx? ... I doubt it ... I remember all the hoopla when the 350 Rem Mag came out ... where is it now? ... gone like the bunny in a David Copperfield magic show

360 Buck Hammer is getting quite a lot of articles in current magazines, but the mighty 35 Remington has been ignored by writers for some time. If the Buck Hammer sells well, it will be the nail that hammers shut the coffin lid on an old favorite. Years ago, the 250-3000 was killed off by the .243 while the .308 dealt a similar death blow to the 300 Savage. Sad but true. As Bob Dylan once wrote, The times they are a Changin'. - TR

"The times they are a Changin" alright and especially for Bob Dylan too after, in his youth, he uttered the phrase "never trust anyone under30." He was right then, but he's a bit over that now I would say....🤣

All arguments either way aside, I truly believe there are too many hunters "out there" using 35 Rem rifles, for the ammunition manufacturers to allow it to fade away. I know 35 Rem ammunition is a bit scarce currently, but supply is catching up. I reckon I'm optimistic..

Back in the 1960's and 70's when I was selling guns, I pushed .35 Rem 336's whenever a potential buyer was looking to buy a Marlin 336. I knew my ballistics backwards and forward back then, but it was futile explaining. They always bought the 30-30. I probably never sold more than 5 in .35 Rem in the 6 years I was in sales. I have to admit I ignored my own advice and bought two 1965 Texans in .30-30. My thinking was it would be easier to sell a 30-30 than a .35 Rem. Wish I had heeded my advice, since I have never sold any of my firearms.

Yes, "The times are a chaangin' "....................but I think the Ballistics stay pretty much the same .................Food for thought........
If a given bullet is traveling at the wanted velocity, does it really matter what the Marketeers call it ?
I'll stay with the ol' 35 Rem................

I don't own a 35 rem although I had always wanted one. But I do believe this is the beginning of the end of the 35 rem. I do hope I am wrong though. Would I buy one today, the answer is no. Ammo availability and price are a big turn off for me. True I could reload for it, but you have to have the brass. And even that is hard to find. Starline brass doesn't even list the 35 rem. I have always been partial to the 30 30. It is still a great cartridge even though I don't hunt with it much anymore. Ammo is easier to find and cheaper, although not at pre-pandemic prices. And I own 2 of them. A mod 94 and a 336. But hey who knows maybe the 35 rem, will make a great comeback. Anything is possible.

… maybe the trend is changing … not seeing any 30-30 Win ammo on Walmart and Canadian Tire shelves … lots of 308 Win, 30-06 Sprng, 300 Win Mag & a few boxes of that newfangled 6.5 Creedmore

.308 win, .300 win mag, 6.5 CM, and I've been seeing a lot of 350 Legend, and a few 360 Buckhammer sitting on the shelves too. I guess supply is outpacing demand atm with these last two? 🤔

It's a shame what is going on with the .35 Rem. I think that I will stick to my Savage 99-358 as I have a lot of brass and can always make more from 308 brass. Also the rotary magazine lets me use pointed bullets.

... not good but certainly not surprising ... the .356 Win & 358 Win were better calibers than the 35 Rem and it will join them in 35 caliber purgatory ... not to mention the 350 Rem Mag ... the Buckhammer won't be far behind the 35 Rem in obscurity ... I remember advising a friend who bought a 450 Marlin back when it was the new "end all and be all" to buy lots of brass ... he listened and bought 500 new brass and did not regret it ... now you can't get 450 Marlin brass for love nor money ... he's still using his Marlin 450M ... Buckhammer buyers better follow his example while brass is plentiful ... Ruger did a good and admirable thing reviving Marlin ... thanks Ruger ... but you can't revive a corpse (35 Rem)

... can't blame Ruger for not tooling up to flog a dead horse like the 35 Rem ... if Ruger goes broke then NOBODY will be making Marlin firearms ... it's been years since I saw a box of factory 35 Rem ammo on LGS shelves ... like the 32 Win Special the 35 Rem doesn't have any advantages over the generic 30-30 Win
