Quote : Sounds from reading this thread that the .307 and 356 probably came about not because of the need for a safe blunt bullet, but rather that the rims were needed for extraction which would have nixed the parent cartridges.

Quote: Please note that the M336 is also made in .35 Remington, which is a rimless cartridge. It works very well.



Yes, but these cartridges are named ".307 Winchester" and ".356 Winchester," not .307 Marlin.... they were designed by Winchester to work in the Model 94 and to offer better ballistics than the .30-30 or .35 Remington.
