I found a recipe for Win 760 and 150gr j-word bullets, but I want to use this to shoot .309 150gr FNGC out of a Marlin 336.
anybody use this?:-D

I've crammed as much as 37 grains of 760 in a 30-30 Winchester brand case and got over 2100 fps with RCBS-30-180-FN at 196 grains checked from my 24" 336. It shot very well but not any better than 33-34 grains H380 at the same velocity. I doubt a 150 grain boolit is going to create enough resistance to provide an efficient burn with 760. How about giving 760 a try with something heavier (perhaps a lot heavier) and let us know how it works.
