Does anyone have any loads for the BTB 200g FNGC in a 35rem Marlin 336?

Thanks,
Jimmy

As much Varget as you can cram in the case would be a good start, but frankly I wouldn't bother. Don't recall the exact load data and I'm away from it now, but it always ended up being full of Varget and compressed a bit. Seems to me that Benchmark might work better but I haven't tried it.

Have loaded several 200 gr. bullets, but it's a chore to get any of them above 2,000fps.

The 180gr. "+P" pistol bullet sized to 0.359" can easily be driven over 2300fps with good accuracy. You'd be time and money ahead to start there.

Oh, and R-P brass seems to have the greatest capacity of what I have on hand (relatively new production of R-P, Winchester, and Federal). That's important in the .35- you could not get my loads of Varget in either Federal or Winchester brass.

Best of luck.....
