    the 336 CB will put them into close to cloverleaves at 100 yds and not too hard on the shoulder...........

    Arnie - what's the purpose of the LDPE wad at base of bullet? Does this serve the purpose of the gas check? Or, help at least allowing higher velocity than with only plain base? If so, what do you consider your max velocity without LDPE wad at base of bullet?

    I shoot a soft 280 grain cast using 3031 for 1950 fps in my Marlin CB. Great accuracy, 1.5" groups at 100 yards for three shots, no leading with a Hornady GC. Can't say enough good about the load, it shoots plumb through even big Roosevelt elk!
