How do they shoot accuracy wise in a Marlin?

Accuracy is great!  I have three Marlin Lever Rifles,  two 30-30's and one 35.  Couldn't ask for a more accurate cartridge.

I have taken one deer with one of the 30-30's and the bullet did it's job.

Not so good (> 6MOA) in my Marlin 30-30 (336SS). They shoot fine (1.5 MOA) in my 35LTD but the plastic tips can make them jam in that magazine.

I've had nothing but good experiences with my 30-30 and the hornady leverolution ammo.  I've never had a single jamming issue and accuracy has been MOA or less if I do my part.  I've only gone threw about 6 or 7 boxes but i think that's a pretty good test of something.

I've used the Hornady ammo in my Marlin  .35.  Grouped very well when sighting in. Haven't used them on deer yet.  Any feedback on this round when used in a hunting situation would be appreciated. Thanks.

The accuracy out of my 336T 30-30 is not as good as the Federal Classic 150 gr that I had been shooting but is definitely "acceptable" for my hunting situations, but I haven't got to the range with my new 336SS.  The LeverEvs shoot great out of my 1895GS 45-70.  Even though I have given up a little accuracy out of my 336T, I love the terminal performance on game.  I killed 4 deer and 2 hogs this past season, and none took a step after being hit.

Well I guess I can assume the .35 ammo should perform the same. Thanks.
