You don't need a PPC bolt head - standard 308 bolt head works fine but you need a longer (PPC) extractor.

Shouldn't cost any more than any other cartridge conversion (except for the $10 or whatever for the extractor).

35 Rem is a great cartridge and loading down the 358 won't get you the accuracy you get with good 35 Rem loads (my experience) and 35 Rem factory ammo is a lot more common than 358.

The Marlin 336 is a fine rifle but will never be as accurate as a Savage!

Currently have two on Swede mausers (using original bolt faces and extractors) - used to have one on an old "short action" 110 that I made an extractor for - it would extract about 50% of the time with the factory length extractor.
