35 rem reloading problems
« on: September 18, 2004, 04:25:16 PM »
ive posted this on three forums, but its a toughy for me and i need anser s to even shoot this gun..  i brought home a rem 35 marlin  336c old style to shoot. it has caused a few reloading problems.. when i seated the bullet 1/16 short of the rifling the bullet would completely colaps inside the case with several loadings(no powder or primer of course)..  when i shortened the bullet (180 grain .357 sierra fpj ) to be in the groove it is about 1/8 to 3/16 short of rifling and that may be ok,only the range will tell that..   the thing that bothers me when i go to pull them they are really in there.it takes about two to three times as many whacks to pull them with an inertia bullet puller... . they still shorten about  .0015 when reloaded several times but that may be ok.. the thing that bothers me is that it may be generatiing too much pressure seated hevily in the conolure.. any comments?? dave.

First of all, forget about seating the bullet a set distance from the lands.

And don't even bother measuring the cases in 1/1000ths of an inch...hell, don't even bother measuring the cases.

The 336 Marlin, in .35 Remington is NOT a tack driver, and never will be.

Seat your bullets to the cannelure and use a firm roll crimp.
