115 Gr cast PB RN in 30-30.

[45-70 Chevroner]

What would be the best Unique load using this Lyman 311255, 115 gr plain base round nose in my 14" Contender with a 1 in 14" twist? I was thinking a 7 gr load would be a good starting point. I've also got Bullseye, 2400, Red Dot, Accurate #9 and #7. What are your thoughts? My mold is a single cavity and drops a very consistent 116 gr boolit, also I can't find this mold listed by Lyman, I wonder if it has been discontinued. It's a good looking boolit with one good sized grease grove and a crimp grove.

7.0-8.5 grains are the range I looked at. I ended up using 8.0 grains of Unique with 110 grain.

My 30-30's like 8.0.

Thanks guys. I will start at 7gr and work up.
rintinglen, do you know what the FPS was with the 8gr load?

[FredBuddy]

My Lyman book makes me guess they are at 1600 fps or so.

Trail Boss at 8 grs is about 1200fps.
