Does anyone load for the 30/30 using 3031 powder, with 150 gr. bullets? If so how much powder? I wiil be using fed. cases, rem. bullets and cci L.R. primers. I have consulted several sources, and the loads are all over the map. Early dupont loads listed 35.5 gr. (compressed load) at 2370 fps, max load. sierra, same time frame, 28.4 at 2200 fps. I could, I know, start at 27 or 28 gr. and work up, but I am hoping to get a better handle on this before I start. I was reading on one forum and they were talking about 3031 ringing barrels with light loads. Any help would be much appreciated. Rifle, by the way is a post 64, 94 win.
