Sorry to be such a stranger, joined back in 2011, but retired from my job as fire service mechanic for 31 years built a band sawmill and set up an old Chase circular mill. Life was going at warp speed now I want to throttle back a little. Been casting and reloading for over 50 years my favorite is 35 cal. Love that RCBS 200 FN. Was a licensed part time gunsmith for 20 years. I tried for years to find a savage 99 358, you know the story, got a good action rebarreled, chambered and fit it along with a new stock, fits like a glove and the holes with cast hover around 1" Just got a Marlin 336 35 rem. manuf. 1951 24" barrel Ballard rifling 6x6 scraping up brass to load some lead. I know enough to know you guys are the real Mc Coy been reading old posts. Will Recluse lube be OK for 1500/1600 fps 200 gr. RCBS cast with slightly hardened old wheel weights.?? Thanks Guys Frank C.

I dont know about the lube so sorry I cant answer that but just wanted to say congrats on that 51 .35 Rem... I just got a 50 336A in 35 Rem and love it... Im using lube made by a guy here D Crockett and it seems to work fine for me... Hope you have fun shooting

the 45/45/10 lube will do just fine at that velocity.

Thanks Ted, do wish I lived in the wide west not in this liberal state of Ma., but all the family is here. Got spoiled when I was stationed down south, in the navy all we did was hunt fish and drink (mayby not in that order)
