So maybe Marlin (Remlin) **IS** "back" (Marlin 336 anecdote) - Page 2

So do I need to get a different follower or not, for the Hornady leverevolution? It seems to feed full unfired rounds fine.

Here is a good read on the 35 Remington.

I think you have your answer...

I don't use the gummy tips in any of my guns, but have been told by those that do, if your particular gun will cycle the last one in the mag reliably, then there is no need to change your follower...

Some guys have told me that they simply insert a 'regular' flat or round nose cartridge into the mag first, instead of changing the follower...

Well, obviously the fed rounds are unfired... ha ha.

Is Grumpa's brass made from .308 stronger than ordinary brass? More reloads per case?

You shouldn't need to change the magazine follower.

All recent production Marlins were supposed to be getting the new follower. (Some models got the 'new' follower starting in the late-'90s, even. Contrary to popular belief, the follower design predates the Hornady 'gummy tips'.)

Post #2 in the thread below has a cross section of factory .35 Rem, and Grumps's converted military brass:

salmoneye thanks for posting that. His brass looks really good. I may have to call my buddy and see if his 35 remington is still for sale. I haven't bought a new gun in several months. I'm getting the shakes and starting to itch all over.
