    Thumbs up reloading marlin 308mx

    i just purchased a marlin 308mx. i started stocking up on ammo for this rifle. haven't bought rifle ammo in a long time since i reload.couldn't believe price of ammo.i got powderloads from hodgdon powders and tried remington 150 grain round nose corelock bullet . not real impressed with accuracy. seems that i really have to use minamum load for this bullet . mite be bullet or powder i picked [h335] will try something different when i get bullets or powder shot up.was wondering if anybody else reloaded for this round.great rifle i think. low recoil super accurate with hornady leverevolution ammo. but at 25.00 dollars a box don't just shoot it up. shot 2 , 3shot groups at 100 yards. had 2 shots making 1 hole with 1 shot being at edge of 1inch bullseye next 3 shot all in bull very happy so far with rifle. anybody with same rifle wanting to trade some info on it feel free
    thanks

    Default Re: reloading marlin 308mx

    Still have your Marlin 308MX? I share your belief that this is a highly accurate factory round from Hornady. I have read that there is factory CoreLokt ammo available, but have not found any. Have about 300 rounds of factory Hornady 160 gr. LeveRevolution ammo and am kickin around getting dies to reload it, although my reloading experience has been exclusively .38/.357 or 44 spc/.44 mag pistol reloading. Can you recommend a die set?
