Good advice, however, some of us do not have unlimited resources, we have to shoot what we have. We can not just run down to Walgreens and buy a 356, or 358, or BLR, we must shoot what we have and we are trying to make the most of what we have.

I've had a 35 rem 336 Marlin since 1973. I've shot deer & hogs of all sizes with that 35 rem. All one shot kills. I load 39 gr of IMR 4064, & Sierra 200 gr RN, CCI 250.

My iron sight rifle is a 35 Reminton Marlin. I was all set to get that 2200 fps with a 200 gr. bullet using AA2520. I figured 2000 fps should be just fine as far as I'm going to shoot peep sights and the hogs get shot in the neck or head so the old corelokt ought to get the job done easily. I also have a 35 Whelen that I load down to 2400 fps pushing the Hornady 200 gr. spire point. Just in case I have to shoot over 150 yards.

Speer no longer recommends those loads for it's bullets w/ those powders. From the #12 manuel: 38 grs. of IMR 4895, not 42 grs. for 2055 fps. w/ 180 gr. bullet. Same with the 220 gr. loads. IMR 4064 at 36 grs. and 1840 fps. Not 37.5 grs. and 2049 fps. The pressures for all of these were measured with the latest electronic measuring equipment, not estimated or guessed at. Older powders aren't any different. According to Dupont, in 1976, their fastest load with the Remington 200 gr. bullet in a 23 inch barrel, not a 20 inch, is 37.5 grs. of IMR 3031 for 2110 fps. at 34,700 cup. E

Alfredo Good load, I have been using that exact same load in my Marlin 35 for years, it works great.

Why the mag primers on this load? I've settled on a similar one (for this season anyway), 200gr. Sierra/38.5gr IMR4064/WLR primers.
