My all time favorite in a Marlin is the discontinued 300gr Nosler Partition over 59gr of VVN 133.
Second place is a Hornady 250gr Mono Flex in the shorter Hornady brass and VVN 133 right up to the base of the bullet.
Both are fast , accurate and tear a nice hole as they zip through elk.
Non traditional but they both work great.
Ive got a full box of 300gr partitions that ive never shot. Everyone seems to love them, don't know why they wont bring them back out..
Also the 405 gr remingtons are loved as well and they make limited runs of them. I guess since they are creedmores or some whizz bang magnum, they don't care
