So I just started shooting my 1984 336, this was unfired until the other day.
Did some reading and it seems some Marlin 30-30's have short throats, this one is much shorter than my 1976 336.
So loading regular jacketed rounds are fine, not so great for loading cast bullets.
I have to load the rounds to deep into the case to chamber.
What is the consensus on getting the throat lengthened ?
It needs to be probably .050 longer
I would like to use a Nose rider, but there in lies the problem, they will not chamber, not even close.
I have tried about 6 different bullets and so far the only cast that will chamber is the 311041 and a lee 150 FN,
but the 311041 has to be set past the crimp groove.
Can I rent a hand reamer for this ? OR ?
