I bought this mold in 2001, thinking 35 Whelen. I even got dies and made Whelen ammo from 30-06 brass but never got the actual rifle done.
Now, fast forward 20+ years,I was recently offered a 336 plus 200 brass for a silly low price. I still have this mold and 1000 gas checks (plus many lighter plain base .358 molds, incl. Lyman 358460).
35 Rem ammo is impossible to find here in Finland and probably will be so. Total lead ban may be coming. A 35 Rem lever gun will be obsolete and of no value here soon. But I like Marlins and this would be a pure fun range rifle with light, even subsonic loads. A trip to the past if you like.
So my question is:
Will this bullet work or is it too long? Mine drops 230 grains, I read everywhere that this should be 250...?
Thank you for reading.
