Acme 30-30 155 gr load data

[sparetime]

I have purchased some Acme 155 grain cast bullets for reloading 30-30 winchester. The bullets do not have a gas check. I haven't been able to find any information on load data for this bullet. I'm just looking for a plinker for a Winchester 94. The published hardness is 16.

I checked my two Lyman reloading manuals and didn't find anything. Most of what I find online is for a gas check bullet.

Help anyone?

A good plinking load would be somewhere in the range of 5 grains of Red Dot. Maybe 6 or 7 grains of Unique. What size are the bullets you purchased?
Good Luck,
Rick

I believe the bullets are sized to .309, but I will have to check when I get home.

Try www.gmdr.com I have gotten some info for my 30-30 and 32 Special from that site. You have to poke around a bit to find it but has a great deal of info. Bill
