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&#8217;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.<br \/>\nMost 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&#8217;t want to deal with that just yet.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/gunsmagazine.com\/levergun-cartridge-supreme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Finally I came across an article by <em>M.L.

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.&#8221;<\/h6>\n<p>I loaded up some 200gr Hornady over IMR 4895 with a large pistol primer.<\/p>\n<h2>This seems to have finally done the trick. 100% success rate with these loads.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been troubleshooting a Marlin 336 chambered in .35 Remington from the\u00a01950s for over a year now.
