The Lever Revolution powder is a ball type and it flows nicely. Here is the load data that drew me to the Lever powder and of course Hogden load data:

If you read carefully you will see the posted loads in the article were from a 20 inch barrel 336 Marlin. From the article posted above:

I see no point in pushing the Sierra 170gr load I made at 34.5gr any higher. I may push the Hornady 160gr FTX a little more. The * given for the 160 FTX, if you read the article, indicate a max. load and the ** indicates the most accurate and useful load. I tend to agree for these from my loadings thus far. Again, the table above is from a 20 inch barrel 336 per the article.
