Saeco 200 grainer.
I've had pretty good results with 35 grains of IMR 3031 in my microgroove, not that my eyes are as discerning with irons anymore.

I’m running the RCBS .358 200gr FNGC (218gr w/check and SPG lube) at .360” .
Over 34.5gr of H4895, it gets 1,950fps at 2.5-3” from my Marlin M336C.
Over 39.0gr BLC2, it gets 2,050fps and under 2”. It’s a real deer slayer!
For a Marlin Microgroove barrel, sized diameter MUST be .360 or .361”...
When I bought my mold +/-10yrs ago, the Lee wasn’t available. Now I’d just get the Lee mold.
Another vote for the Lee 200 or the ranch dog 190 both do very well with top end jacketed loads of 4895
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
I use a lee C358-200-RF It is a .358 200gr fp gas check mold. Dual and 6 cavity numbers are: 90449 90016. I use the 90048 lee push thru sizer to attach my gas checks.
Works fantastic in my and my buddies marlin 336's.
Ps.. it's the bullet I use as my avatar.
The rcbs 200 or the lee copy is my favorite boolit. I have used RL7,3031 and 4320 all with good success at around 1900 to 2000 fps. wcww and checked in an old M8 Rem gets about 2 1/2" at 100yds.
Pretty much where I ended up...31.2 gr of RE-7, because i have a powder dipper that throws that, reliably.. and in my bolt action Mauser, I am pretty much right at 2100 fps.. But, my Chrono is only about 10 feet in front of the muzzle..
Best part is... it seems to shoot better actually (slightly) than the 150 Remington pointy condom..pushing 2400 fps
Gonna be very hard to beat, as I cannot shoot better than either of those!!
Hope you enjoy as much as I have been!!!
