Also, watch the Marlins for leading in the first inch of throat with PB bullets, and if you see that, soften your alloy a bit or bump the powder burn rate and pressure.
Yes! I have had this happen in my 336 when I shot some water quenched alloy Plain Base, proper ( Fat) size bullets with light loads. It leaded the throat up so much nothing would shoot so I just went home and started scrubbing.
This also happened to me this summer in my .223 Bolt action Too hard of a plain base bullet and light loads. A real mess; First time that rifle ever leaded
The guys here had it figured out in minutes!
Ben: as to those gas checked bullets without the checks That Noe Ranch Dog has shot well for me without checks from the first time I tried it….Now that said ….I have Plain Based one cavity of that mould, a La your excellent instructions! & That bullet shoots as well if not better….however I'm out of the plain base bullets and haven't been able to cast in a few months so I reverted to shooting the gas check bullets Sans the checks
