[QUOTE="Eagle Eye, post: 2731536, member: 34489"] Hey guys, Im trying to work up a good 30-30 plinking load. I am using 165grain Hard Cast Bullets ([URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/959561/meister-hard-cast-bullets-30-30-winchester-309-diameter-165-grain-lead-flat-nose-box-of-500?cm_mmc=se_service-_-shippingconf-_-shippingconf-_-ProductShippedTodayLink"]these[/URL]). I've looked in my Speer and Hornady books and they only include data for 160 and 170 grain bullets. Same with [url]http://hodgdonreloading.com[/url]. I have Varget and a bit of 4064. I understand Varget is not the best because I am trying to keep fps pretty low. Speer book recommends starting load of 29gr Varget with a 160grFNSP to get approx. 1825fps. starting load of 27gr Varget with a 170grFNSP to get approx. 1626fps. Can I start with a load that is between the two starting loads? Are those fps too high for hard cast bullets? -M [/QUOTE]
