Maybe use the data on Hodgdon`s website?
You don't need anything special for 100 yd shooting with a marlin.
What ever you use for 25/50 will be okay out to 200.

Hodgdon list 6.9gns as the max, which will give 1200fps.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?
