[QUOTE="Winkfish, post: 1990759, member: 98068"] Good afternoon, I was given this rifle and I would like to put a couple rounds through it just to say I shot it. I don't plan on hunting with it or doing any precision work. I would just like to say I fired it and keep it around and functional. I am wondering your thoughts on potential safe loads in this rifle. I had a gunsmith go through it and ensure it was safe and that there wouldn't be any issues. I was thinking of picking up some 115gr lead bullet, and I have enough random brass lying around that I could use. I am thinking it may be better to run this thing slow and gentle and not the current set of 30-30 production ammo this it out there? If you have any insight as to a powder and or charge recommendation, if you could please let me know. Thank you, [/QUOTE]
