    I have not loaded any Carbine ammo in years as I bought several cans of surplus stuff cheap cheap some years back.
    well if you shoot any save that brass store bought 30carbine is going about $28 a 50box

    I'm happy with the H110 I may try 2400 someone said it's cleaned and I could beg some off a buddy

    I've got one of Lee Group Buy moulds that were sold here about 5 years ago. I cast them hard (BHN of ~22) and size them to .310". They weigh about 105gr., and I use 12.5gr of 2400 with them.

    The only primers I've had trouble with in my Inland carbine were the mil-spec CCI's...I reckon the cups are just a tad harder than standard primers. My carbine won't set 'em off, but it will fire factory loads, surplus ammo and any other primer I have reloaded with.
