I have an older Marlin 336 in 30-30 that has to be at least 30 years old, its bore is pitted and there are a few spots where I can see really BAD pitting disrupting the rifling.

I'm now into reloading since I purchased an 1894c, and a few Ruger Blackhawks all in .357, and thought why not start reloading for the 30-30. So fellas, here is my question, since the bore is in not so great shape, would my rifle benefit from the over sized cast lead bullets rather than factory sized jacketed bullets? Im thinking the bigger sized lead would be better for any accuracy I can get in my bore being how bad the rifling looks. I plan on purchasing the RCBS cowboy dies if the consensus is lead, or the Lee collet dies if its Jacketed.
Your input will be highly appreciated,thank you.
