[QUOTE="Cowbaby, post: 3701390, member: 46875"] I tried it fairly extensively in 30/30. Hogden the people who make it stop at 36gr. with a 170gr bullet. Hornady the guys that make the leverrevolutin bullets max at 37gr. DO NOT start at Hornady's max load. It is nuts, and I called them about it and they stood by it claiming they tested it and it is Ok. I started having really flat primers and primer pocket gas leaks at 35.5 and 36gr I never made it to Hornady's 37. I'm brave but not that brave, They claim this stuff is a revolution in lever actions and list it to go about 100-200ft/sec faster at the max . When I had to back off to about 34.5 and 35 grains they hit pretty much same place for both and no issues. At that loading it goes right back to being about the same velocity as a factory round. Funny how that works huh. I think Hornady is full of it and just trying to push it for sales as I tried it in 2 different guns with the same issues. I have crammed 100s of cartridges full of at least 6 other powders for 30/30 and never had an issue with my procedures ie OAL ect.. Moral of the story: Load it to hit around the factory velocity for a given bullet weight and your golden. There is no revolution in 30/30 at least. It is a nice doable powder for it but not my first choice. No experience in any other cal. with it, [/QUOTE]
