This little Marlin followed me home. I think it's a keeper

Well I ran into a smallish snag with the rifle. I intended to use my now copy of the ranch dog 360-190-rf boolit in this gun because it worked so will with another Marin 35 rem I had several years ago. But no dice. The nose is all wrong for the throat of this gun. That boolit is designed for micro groove barrels. Mine is Ballard rifles and the nose of that boolit is too fat to chamber without extreme excessive force to close the lever. So, now it's going to be fed my rcbs 35-200. I'm thinking 35-36gr 3031 should do the trick.

Sounds good, that 35-200 is a fine boolit as well. Just scored NOE's version of that classic mould. I didn't have much luck with the 3031 in my 35 Rem but it should work. I've had better luck with Rx7 and LVR.
