30-30 reloading recommendations

[Catfish]

The way I pick powders for a new round is as follows. Look up the round in a reloading manual and go to the bullet weight you want. Then look to see which powder gives you the max. velosity. The reason is not so that I can get the fastest loads, but the powders giveing the fasrest velosities are those that are at the optomin burn rate for that round and usually something near the fastest powder will also give you the best accuracy. Yor best accuracy may be with loads that are far from max. loads and be relitively slow for the powdr your loading, but rember that a deer cannot tell the difference between a bullet going 2,000 fps and 1 going 3,000 fps. As for bullets I would bow a bow of 150`s and a box of 170 flat nose bullets and hunt with the bullets the gun shoots the best.
