35 Remington plinking loads

I’ve been looking for a cheaper way to shoot 35 Remington. The full 200gr loads are heavy recoiling and expensive, not so fun to shoot all day.
Experimenting with quickload I’ve found a good load that I like. 158gr Rocky Mountain Reloading 357 projectile over 7.3gr of HP-38(or Win231.) In a time where you can’t find really any 35 Rem ammo, a load comes out to be well under $0.25 per round is awesome for the range. This should give about 1200 FPS at the muzzle and a max PSI of 12000(so use at your own risk, think squibs)
I will get a target posted and group sizes next time out at the range.

Yes the OAL is short, but seems to feed just fine.

Marlin 336 35 Remington Misfires [SOLUTION]

I’ve been troubleshooting a Marlin 336 chambered in .35 Remington from the 1950s for over a year now. This firearm has taken a lot of deer in the Michigan woods over the past 40 years, but otherwise isn’t shot other than those 15 days in November.
Occasionally there would be a click but no bang. It appears that there is a good dent in the primer, sometimes a re-strike with the hammer would do it. But it seems to be getting worse. I’ve replaced the firing pin with a single piece, the extractor, hammer spring. All things that if you google for the issue are recommended to solve this solution.
Most likely because the 35 Remington is prone to headspace issues due to the very small shoulder the rifle needs to be headspaced, but I didn’t want to deal with that just yet.
Finally I came across an article by M.L. McPherson that suggested to load with large pistol primers instead of large rifle primers. McPherson has wrote books and many articles on smithing and reloading.

“In my opinion, all .35 Remington handloads for the Marlin should use CCI Large Pistol primers. Due to the relatively low-striker energy, pistol primers give more uniform ballistics, and such modest charges of easily ignited propellants do not require rifle primers.”

I loaded up some 200gr Hornady over IMR 4895 with a large pistol primer.

This seems to have finally done the trick. 100% success rate with these loads.

Certification Authority Event ID 80

After upgrading from a 2003 to 2008 R2 certification authorities I noticed warnings for event ID 80 in the CA logs.  I think I have the fix worked out. Essentially you need to convert global groups to universal then to domain local. Add the CA computer objects, then set some permissions.

Replace the paths with your domain specific information.

1) On the parent domain,  on a global catalog domain controller (Run from an elevated cmd prompt)

dsmod group "CN=Cert Publishers,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" -scope u
dsmod group "CN=Cert Publishers,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" -scope l
2) For each child domains, on a global catalog domain controller (Run from an elevated cmd prompt)
dsmod group "CN=Cert Publishers,CN=Users,DC=child,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" -scope u
dsmod group "CN=Cert Publishers,CN=Users,DC=child,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" -scope l
dsacls "DC=child,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" /I:S /G "domain\Cert Publishers":RP;userCertificate
dsacls "DC=child,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" /I:S /G "domain\Cert Publishers":WP;userCertificate
dsacls "cn=adminsdholder,cn=system,DC=child,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" /G "domain\Cert Publishers":RP;userCertificate
dsacls "cn=adminsdholder,cn=system,DC=child,DC=domain,DC=company,DC=com" /G "domain\Cert Publishers":WP;userCertificate

3) Add the computer objects for your certification authorities to the group  “Cert Publishers” on each domain.
4) Finally, on your certification authorities run the following ((Run from an elevated cmd prompt))

certutil -setreg SetupStatus -SETUP_DCOM_SECURITY_UPDATED_FLAG
net stop certsvc
net start certsvc
