My Marlin 336SC is here! I broke it down and cleaned it up last night. I've got 100 pieces of Winchester brass for it, 100 FTX 265grain bullets, plenty of powders to go with Hornady's suggested load data, and I'm planning on starting with some Wolf LR primers I received a couple of three weeks ago. Pacesetter dies should be in any day now.....
I cannot find any 200grain Remington round noses in stock anywhere! I would surely like to load some of these up, despite all the good that's said about the FTX bullets. Maybe I'll dig around and see if anyone has some Sierra 200 grain bullets.
I've heard about problems full-length sizing this brass. I can;t yet find an in-stock Lee Collet die to neck size with. What are your experiences with the .35 Rem brass?
Can you fellows recommend any other bullets that are popular enough to be generally available for this rifle? My initial plans are hog hunting, but of course I won;t limit the rifle to that.
Why oh why is Marlin finishing their walnut on these rifles to emulate plastic?
Thanks for any thoughts.......
