One of the things I have found with Marlin micro groove rifling and lead is that for the best accuracy you have to actually bump the bullet size up slightly. My 336 loves lead so long as it is .311 diameter, not .308-.310. Found that out quite by accident when trying various brands of lead cast bullets.
One cast sight I had visited (cant remember the name) had mentioned that issue with Marlin micro groove rifling. I tried their larger cast bullets (.311) and bingo bango accuracy improved. They cast up to .312 lead for the 30-30 but I didn't try that large on mine.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
