I have several center fire rifles that I like and reload them all.
I recently purchased a Marlin 336C 30-30 and I am having a lot of fun with it. I am buying factory ammo for it off the shelves of hardware stores, gunshops, sporting goods stores, big box stores and even a gas station or two.
This was a crazy idea. Congratulations, it was a wonderful idea, I have three 30-30's, I load the 170 gr Hornadys in two and the 170 gr partitions in the 26" octagon barreled rifle, all mine are '94 Winchesters, I like the Marlins too.
Trump Won!

One of my favorite 30/30's, 91 years young.

See, I'll use a Cor-lokt in a 30/30 or 35 Rem, but that's about the only cartridges I'll use them in.

Scott is that untouched wood on that rifle?
Looks way better than my .300/99

If you decide to reload, the nosler website usually has 170gr roundnose partitions.

I like the Leverevolutions in mine, although the most recent batch is not shooting as well. I swear they changed something.

I think my favorite though are the Winchester Power Points and I also have several boxes of 170gr Partitions.

1963 vintage, Williams FP with Firesight. It'll get the job done every time.

Just bought a 1974 vintage Marlin 336 in 30-30 yesterday. It was too nice to leave in the rack at $330.00. I have got to stop going to gun shops, too much temptation.

I put a scope on my Marlin 336 and shot groups with different brand ammo and bullet weight to see what it prefers then put a Williams FP and front Firesight on it. I did pretty well with groups at 50 and 75 yards, 100 yards just OK and 150 yards not so good. I realize that if I stay with the iron sight there needs to be a lot of practice sessions.

What I have observed is since I bought the gun earlier this year 30-30 Marlins are showing up left and right at reasonable prices, but so far have resisted the temptation.

They seem to hold together better from what I've seen.

Wayne, As you know, if scoping that rifle, it's proper WI-etiquette to put see-through mounts on it.

It is funny you mentioned that. I do have a set of see-thru's in a draw in my shop. They came off a Rem 742 that I re-scoped for a friend. I have been waiting for an Amish guy to come along to take them off my hands.
