Loading for .30-.30 Using Woodleigh 30-30 150Gr

[Eric H]

I've been holding on to these Woodleighs for a while now and wondering if anyone else has used them in their .30-.30.
If so what powder and jump do they like? Only have 50 in the box and don't want to waste them.

I love them in my 30-30, it's a win 94. I use 38.5 gr of LVR right out of the Hodgdon load center, I seat to the cannelure in Federal brass and set it off with standard federal primers. Extremely accurate with 100 yrd groups averaging 1" (with a scope) and muzzle velocity of 2400 fps. Wound channels are impressive and I haven't recovered a bullet yet, they always exit!!

Thanks. Will try working up to that.
