I am relocating to southern Indiana, and, after reviewing the deer hunting regulations I found the following restrictions: a minimum bullet diameter of 0.357 caliber (so far so good), and a maximum case length of 1.80 inches (ahem). I have been looking around the web for some information on trimming .35 Remington brass to meet this standard. I would have to take 12/100ths of an inch off the neck. I've found a few old threads on other forums that suggest there're no problems, that enough neck remains to sufficiently hold the bullet. Surprisingly, however, not one of these threads mentioned the Marlin 336. I am wondering if there would be any feeding issues.
Anyone have any intelligent input on this issue? I would greatly appreciate it.
