Hi All,

I wish I could use the 150-165 spitzer bullets in my 30-30 Bolt action, but the magazine is not long enough to do so. It was built around the Factory Winchester 170 grn FP loading. I use 130 Grn spire points from Hornady but at a higher velocity than normal, 2800fps using H335 powder. I have used a box of Sierria 150 Grn Flat points but at 2800 fps these are being pushed beyond their design limits.

Now as to what you can load bullet wise will be restricted by the length of the magazine and the throating of the barrel, you may find that you cannot like I found use the 150-165 grn spitzers as they have to be far too deeply seated to work. Personally I would certainly try the 125-135 grn spitzers. I did and they work very, very well indeed, accuracy is outstanding from my rifle with them, however it's not anything special with 150 grn factory 30-30 loads that I have tried so far.
