Starting to work on loads for the 336, and wanted to get opinions on what I'm planning.
It's a 1984 mfg 336, and have these 3 moulds I'm planning on...
NOE (RD) 311-171 RF
311291
Rcbs 30-180
I really wanted the RD to fit/chamber in the marlin, but I have to seat wayyyyyy low. I know there's a couple different versions depending on the year of mfg & throat dims, but thinking this is a no-go (oal=2.421").
311291 has a nice 'scuff' fit, and easy to load. As cast is fat, but easily sized to .311
Rcbs 30-180 is slightly skinny .3105ish, but like 311291, has no issues with loading & feeding.
Plan: try rel7, 3031, h335, h4895 with the '291 & rcbs. Size at .311, and try .312 in the '291 to see if it feeds and functions, and how it groups.
Thoughts from the peanut gallery?
Thanks! -Andy
