[QUOTE="Rusty54, post: 652610, member: 48086"] I have quite a bit of experience loading the 30/30 in two different single shots over the last 25 years. The 1st a 14" T/C I was pushing a 150gr Sierra spbt about 2300fps with something north of 30gr IMR 4198. The other is a NAA carbine pushing a very hard cast 155gr Flat nose bullet as high as 2600fps with 30+gr of IMR 4198 till ejection became unreliable so I backed off 1gr and am getting 2500fps now . I don't recommend these loads to anyone but its doable and I found accuracy improved as I filled more of the case, also case life was as long as 15 loads before necks would split. With the previously mentioned cast bullet load I'm getting about 5" groups at 200yds. Good hunting accuracy! [/QUOTE]
