Good afternoon guys. I recently came upon a Marlin 336 in 35 Remington. I have am having an issue and needing some help. The rifle came with 6 rounds of Remington 200 grain bullets. They appear to be older and chamber and shot well.
I purchased two boxes of Remington 200 grain core lokt bullets at Bass Pro. They will not chamber. I can get the lever up but have to squeeze really hard to get the lever to the frame allowing me to shoot. I have not shot as I want to be sure what is going on. As a test I bought a box of Hornady Leverevolutions in 200 grain. They cycle and shoot perfectly. Anyone have an idea or have had this problem? I love the rifle and any help would be greatly appreciated. Blessed day to you!
