I am trying to find a load for a 158 grain pistol boolit in my 35 Remington 336 Marlin. Bullet is cast as 0.360". Barrel slugs 0.359". Using what I think is a good lube and the boolit has a lot of lube groove. No gas check. I am getting some leading at 12.0 grains of 2400. Accuracy seems to go and come. Don't ask me to explain it. Think I will drop back to 11.0 grains of 2400 to see if the leading disappears. Anyone have any advice and estimate velocities for this powder load range?
