The rifle is a new to me Marlin 336 in .35 Remington with a Microgroove barrel.
I just cast up a few different bullets to test fit before loading some ammo.
All of them show signs of the front driving band touching the lands.
The pic shows an Accurate mold bullet with a front driving band that is .060".
It is sized at .359
I also tried the RCBS 358-200-FN and got the same thing, just a bit shorter because the front driving band is thinner.
Would these be safe to shoot?
I'm planning on using 18 - 20gn of Alliant 2400 which should get me around 1700fps.
