Anyone have load specs for 25-36 Marlin

Would like to use a friends old rifle for close range bush hunting.
Open to ideas for bullet selection too. Whatever would be close to the origonal load. Thanks in advance!

Use same data as 25-35 Win.
 
Noel,

I have loaded the 25-35 Win using the 117 gr Hornady round nose and 25 gr of 3031 for years. It works on paper and on game. :D

I know they are not exactly the same cartridge, but they are pretty close.

They don't interchange, but the case capacity is the same. The 25-36 was Marlins' version of Winchesters' 25-35.
 
From the info I have gathered from a cartridge conversion book, they are indeed close in size. The 25-35 will get it's shoulder pushed forward a little (fireform to the chamber) and then one could just size the neck so long as the sized case will chamber easily.
Cheers!
