Thank's animal for the info, I do not reload so I will be using factory ammo in my 336 ss, I will try the new Hornady ammo. Back in the 80's I had a blued 336c and gave it to my son. I realy liked the 336c, I am a Leftie and the lever action works well for me, Dick's has one now,I may not make it till next season, I have a new Bushnell Trophy 3x9x40 scope just waiting to go on the 336ss, most of my shots will be under 200yds.---- Thank's.
