[QUOTE="SkunkedAgain, post: 2963208, member: 127677"] Howdy all, Working on a load for an old Marlin 336 in 30-30. I want to use LEVERevolution using the Hornady FTX 160 gr. Wondering if anyone has any loads in this for the Marlin 336. I did a ladder load from 37 gr down to 35ish gr. Velocities we're all over the place. See below. Using #34 military primers and was having issues with half of them not going off on the first trigger pull. Gonna switch to WLRs on the next loads, unless someone tells me otherwise and says I need a new trigger spring. Winchester brass and seated to cannalure. Any ideas? Trying to get close to 2400 fps.
