I recently resurrected a Marlin 336 from the back of my safe. It seems reasonably accurate with factory 150 & 170 grain,ammunition. I want to try some light bullets (maybe 110 or 125 grain if I can ever find any) for varmints and plinking. I bought a Lee 3 die set because I have never crimped my bottleneck cartridges.
With the tubular magazine, would it be a good idea to crimp these rounds? Do you use a separate crimp die or the factory seater if you do crimp?
Does anyone have a pet powder/ bullet combination for 30-30? I usually use Reloader 15 or Varget for my mid sized calibers. I recently got some IMR 8028 XBR, but have not yet tried the .308 & 22-250 that I have loaded with it.
