Can someone tell me if a Marlin 336 in .35 Remington will shoot .357 Mag. pistol cartridges?

I work as a meteorologist doing air pollution analyses - If I had to do it over again I would pursue a career as a "man-whore"

(Ever see the movie "Deuce Bigelow"? It's hilarious.

I have a co-worker who used to work as a geologist for the oil industry. He said that it's a great career for and adventurous young man, but not for a family man....and only if you like to travel and hang out with roughnecks.

Marlin 336 SS in .257 Roberts or .243 Win..

Tradgang, Leatherwall, Leverguns, and MarlinOwners take up 90% of my time on the internet. Well thank goodness - I thought I had some sort of sickness - glad to see I'm not alone. BTW, I post on TradGang as "NativeCraft" - I recently posted a message about "Brooke". I'm not into...

If so, this forum reminds me of another of my favorite forums - TradGang.

I'm sorry gentlemen, for not posting pictures - I'll try to take some this weekend.
I'm in the final stages of homebuilding, so I likely won't even get to shoot it until after a couple of weeks or so. I'll try to post a review after I run a few rounds through it.

Triggernosis

Got it off GunBroker and picked it up from my local FFL. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but my first impressions when I took it out of the box was "it's certainly a cute little fellow". It was much smaller than I thought it would be and I may have to add a spacer under the recoil pa...

Triggernosis

Thanks, gentlemen.

Vic: PM sent.

What book(s) would you recommend for a newbie to reloading? I'm getting ready to place an Amazon order and thought I'd start reading up on the subject before I start purchasing equipment.

Triggernosis

I just sold that exact rifle a few weeks ago. It was the most accurate rifle I've ever had, but was just too heavy for me to hunt with. I purchased it mainly to get set up to shoot F-class, but lost interest in it and I've already got a .270 as my deer rifle. It shot Cabela's bulk 75 gr. ammo. the b...

Triggernosis

Thanks for the info., fellas.

Triggernosis

Gents, I will eventually get into reloading, and I guess what I was trying to say is that my 2 yr. old practically consumes my life right now rather than bothering my stuff. I have very little free time to pick up yet another hobby. Add to that that I'm building a house for which I'm the general con...

Because I have a 2 yr. old that's into everything!

I'll probably start reloading later this year after we move into our new digs that are under construction right now.

I have a Marlin 1894C in .357 on order and am getting ready to buy some ammo for it. I've got some Cabela's gift cert. that I'd like to use and they have 2 offerings of their bulk .357 Mag. ammo, 158gr. semi-wadcutter and 158gr. jacketed hollowpoint. Which would likely be best for me to go with? If ...

Triggernosis

It's nice when a gun likes American Eagle, being as it's one of the cheaper brands, huh?

Triggernosis

Colorado,
Tell us more about that bear. Where'd you take him? Guided hunt? Give us details - I've been thinking about doing a bear hunt.

Triggernosis

Thanks, guys - I don't know how I overlooked Marlin.

Triggernosis

Looking to shoot some of my .357 magnum pistol ammo in a levergun - I don't think Marlin makes one..anyone else?

Triggernosis

Congrats to Sam. I was a cadet there once myself (class of '89), though I didn't graduate due to a medical discharge.
If he doesn't have a copy already, get him a copy of "Bugle Notes" and have him start learning the stuff in there.

Triggernosis

Thanks, gentlemen.
John, your pic and description was very helpfull.

I'm located in eastern N.C...doesn't look like very much activity near me.

Triggernosis

Can someone point me to somewhere that I can find some info. on the "silhouette" shooting that I keep seeing references to? Stuff such as: what is it? where do I shoot?, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Triggernosis

Thanks for the responses, gentlemen. Looks like I'll have to fork out the money and go ahead and get one.

Triggernosis

Most .243's in other actions (bolt and semi-auto) have 22" barrels. What would I lose by going with a 20" barrel that's available in the Browning BLR? Will the muzzle blast be noticeably worse from the shorter barrel? It's bad enough on a longer barrel, in my opinion. How about trajectory ...

I enjoy myself much more when hunting does than I do pretending to be a trophy hunter. The money and time that some folks spend to bag a trophy buck baffles me.

Notice the pic where he's in velvet. There is a tag in his ear. That doesn't necessarily mean he was/is raised in a pen or high fence. I've hunted S.

Some might call it a lever but most would call it a bolt handle. It's a lever too. :lol: Browning A-Bolt I shoot one of those A-Bolts, too....in .270. It wears a Zeiss Conquest 3-9x40 w/ Z-Plex reticle. Out to 300 yards the 9 power is fine for deer. If I were shooting varmints much past that, I'd p...

getitdone,
I have a 3-9x40 on my .243 (bolt action).
BTW, which levergun do you have in .243?

Triggernosis

.358, .325, .450! Doggone, guys, y'all shoot some kickers, don't you?
I'm recoil and muzzle-blast-sensitive, so I'm gonna stick with the small calibers.

Thanks for the responses, gentlemen.

Triggernosis

Jeff,
How well has the finish held up on your receiver.

I'm not necessarily concerned about the aluminum receiver holding up, but an anodized finish does concern me.

Triggernosis

The "newer" ones meaning the latest ones with the aluminum receiver.
Interested in hearing your experiences, as I've got an itch for one in .243 or 7mm-08.
