    I have an older H&R 158 that I am going to try Frank Marshall's load of the Lyman 308284 in front of IMR 4350.

    The Lee 312-185 works well in it, but I want to try other loads before I settle on one load for the rifle. Right now I have three or four molds and about five suitable powders on hand; sounds like a lot of testing is in my future.

    For hunting in both the 311041 would be excellent, especially if cast of a softer alloy and pushed over 28 gr of 4895 or, preferably, 34.5 gr of LeveRevolution powder. WW+2% tin /lead at 50/50 is an excellent alloy for this. Also if you mildly HP the 311041 with a 1/8" forster HP tool to 3/16" depth it will expand nicely and be very effective to 200 yards with those loads.

    The same cast 311041 over 11 gr of Unique will make an excellent small game load in both rifles. Lyman's 311466 will make an excellent target bullet in the single shot or in the M94 if single loaded or one in the spout and just one in the mag for a 2 shooter.

    Lee's TL314-90-SWC sized .311 and loaded over 2.7 gr of Bullseye will make an excellent gallery, plinking or small game load.

    I basically use one 30-30 load for my single shot and levers. 311041 and 27grs 3031. 2000fps and the tiniest little groups you can imagine. On top of that, deer and bear are easy meat with this load.
