Hello GOB,
I have a 311466 153gnRNGC (153gn depending on lead mix) that does well in the 30-30. If you have a sizer or access to one I would be more than happy to lend you the mould. If you take these and run them through the sizer "tip up" it will flatten the rounded tip just enough to eliminate the scare of primer detonation and does nothing to the accuracy (100yds or less). I am attaching a post I "borrowed" from Cast Boolets for your consideration. Take care and God bless....cordell
Well after I got some other projects out of the way I finnaly tried the 311466 in the 30-30 today. Gas checked & lubed with 50/50 final weight came in at 159grns. I sized to .311 and added gaschecks with Lee push through (base first to flatten the nose). loaded in Win brass with Win LRP over aa5744. 5 each starting at 15grns to 20grns in 1grn increments. My 1965 model Win 94 put all 5 touching at 17grns (50yrds). So I think I will load 100 or so at 17grns, Low report & little recoil. All charges were under 1.5" at 50yrds offhand. I didn't get the crony out because it never quit snowing today. I just love chasin brass in the snow. Thanks for the input, Josh
