Hornady 165gr. Revolution bullets

I reloaded some 160's in Marlin 336w in 30-30.

I needed a different bullet seater plug to fit the bullet shape to push it down far enough in the case.

The bullets are long, especially in the area from the cannelure to base.

Hornady's informal loading data was 200fps slower than their advertised factory ammo. I compared their data with my other sources for 150gr and 170gr. I ended up with a load close to the 170gr max.

IMR 4064, R15 and Varget should work great. I aimed for about 2100fps out of the 20in Marlin.

I didn't trim the brass back, as suggested by Hornady, and crimped on the cannelure. I had no issues with feeding.
