    Dating .25-35 brass

    It's a longshot but does anyone happen to know what years Remington-UMC produced "REM-UMC .25-35" stamped brass? Seems like it might be 1913-1970 or so (at least for the REM-UMC stamp) but maybe someone knows something to the effect of "they stopped producing .25-35 ammo for x years from 19xx - 19yy" or something?

    I found it while I was prairie dogging in Eastern Wyoming and asked the guy who owns the ranching on which I was hunting. He said his grandpa owned a .25-35 (the rancher is 72-75 IIRC). Kind of neat to find anyway, the rancher was saying so far as he knows, no one has shot a .25-35 on his ranch for as long as he's been alive.

    I couldn't give you any dated info about your 25-35 case but when I was a lot younger I used to buy 25-35 Win. in both Rem and Win brand. I gave a full box of Rem. 25-35 to a friend for his display in the gun store a couple of years ago. It was in one of the old Rem Green paper boxes, the dividers to keep the cartridges separate from each other are paper/cardboard. I remember buying that box in 1971 after getting out of the army. I still have one old paper Winchester 25-35 empty box that I bought somewhere around 1962 or so give or take some. I paid 3.90 for that box at a gun store in Dinuba Calif, Vern Phillips gun store.

      This brought to mind my mother used to deer hunt on our property with a Marlin in 25-20 she could shoot that rifle well. I always wondered what happened to it.

      If needed I do have a set of 25-35 C H Dies cheap.
