Has anybody else used TB with their 35rem Marlin?

I've been trying to trade into a 357mag Marlin and have all but given up so I figured I'd try using TB in the ol 35rem. I did the 70% case thing that is posted at the site and came up with a 9grains charge pushing a 180 WWGC.

I've also been wanting to lop the barrel down to 16" for a good truck gun but never did it since it's a pre-safety. Maybe if I find a beater for around $100 I'll do it. I got my own hacksaw with a new blade and all (kidding, my friends got a machine shop)
 
Fill the case with Trail Boss to the bottom of the bullet you are using.What you now have a max load in this case for this bullet and powder.Weigh this powder and take 75% for your beginning load.If you can find it there is a great article on this in the April 2010 Handloader magazine.
