Greetings to all.
I've been out of touch for a while (still have my fingers and toes  ) Computer issues.
Anyway. I just bought a new Marlin 336 with scope package. I am looking to reload for it. I have the several books for load data and obviously will work up my loads. Any powder recommendations? Bullets? primer types? I know the spire points are out because of the tube magazine and recoil. Special considerations? getting the dies soon and will start churring some out. Thanks in advance |

I like W748 and CCI primers
Also the Lee FCD, since .30-30 needs a good crimp |

I have settled on the 150 gr bullet, BLC2, WLR, and Win or RP cases.
The new Hornady 165 gr soft tip sounds interesting, but are expensive. |

100 yards would be a long shot for me. I've settled on the 170gr Rem. core-loc soft point,
R-P cases, R-P primers and 3031. My old (got it in '77 when I was 12 ) Marlin with the
Micro-Groove rifling likes heavier bullets and these components give me good Minute-of-deer. |

I'm loading these for my son's 30-30
Hornady has load data for them on their website. I'm using H335. |

Sierra 170gn Pro Hunter FN
R-15 Fed Primer 1/2 turn crimp with the Lee FCD. My Winchester 94 doesn't like the 150s at all. |
