Which mold for a Marlin 336 30-30 micro groove?
A friend just shot his 336 for the first time in many years. Factory ammo. He liked my Win. 94 30-30 with 311291 175 grain load with 10 grains unique for about 1450 fps. My neck size only reloads would not chamber in his Marlin. He reloads cowboy ammo but this will be his first time loading 30-30. I told him about flaring the case neck for lead bullets.
So, which cast bullet might be his best choice for 100 yard plate shooting and reduced recoil like mine. And what sizing diameter?
Thanks ahead of time.

Good Luck,

I just took possession of one of the new Ruger 336SBL’s. I’ve only had it to the range for one trip and have only tried a few starting loads. This is the NOE 312-151-RN, powder coated & sized to .311.
I can feel some slight resistance closing the lever, and quite a bit extracting the unfired round. I’ll try a few more traditionally lubed, and some with good old Alox. The first rounds showed promise, accuracy wise. But I’m concerned about chamber pressure. If other-than-powder coated bullets don’t chamber/extract easier, I’m going to abandon trying to pair this bullet with this rifle.
