I'm working with a new to me 336 in .35 Remington and would appreciate any useful information from those of you who have been there done that.
I'm not sure where I will end up with my alloy, but I've started with 17:1 with just a pinch of antimony to give me a bullet that should expand and still hold together well.
The 35-200 comes out of my mold at 210+ grains and .3595-ish diameter. That diameter is working fine in my .3575 micro groove diameter. Lubed and checked it is in the 215 grain range.
My question is, how fast is fast enough to push this bullet so it will give reliable kills on whitetail deer with well placed shots out to 150-ish yards. Keeping in mind that most shots will likely be 40 yards or closer.
Since this is supposed to be THE bullet for the Marlins I was wondering what kind of accuracy I should expect with this combo?
So far I have been working with IMR 3031 & 4895, but I haven't seen anything accuracy wise that got me excited.
Thanks for your comments.
