I'm shooting a Marlin 336. The FTX Bullets I was playing with started giving me trouble. Anyone have any luck with Speer 220 gr RN?? I have 3 boxes of these and a few various powders. My son is wanting to use this gun in a week.

What issues with the FTX?
They are one of the best out there, si it has to be another issue I would guess
Wes at 50 yards the are damn near hole for hole..At 100 all over the place. I have exhausted every avenue on them. I found 100 200 gr Sierra RN that I had got from you in the past and will start all over again tomorrowOriginally Posted by Wes Sage
That is odd. Iron sights, scope?
I’ve shot Speer 220gr flat nose in the past, they worked well for me. I don’t remember what powder I used tho. These days I use the hornady 200gr RN, with IMR4198. Its not a fast load, 1850fps, but my gun likes them.

I loaded and used the speer 220 this year. I also had problems with the FTX . It's a sledge hammer bullet . I put a buck and 2 does down hard with them . Using H335 , CCI LRM primers , best results were around 1700 FPS . 336
Thanks for the Help fellas...The Sierra 200 Grain did the trick. I was starting to think that I had scope or ring issues. Very Happy with the RN bullet
Excellent! What powder did you end up using?
