I've tried to do a such but came up dry.
I've got the use of a Coast to Coast bolt action 30-30 to play with. I'll be using a Lee C308 150FN boolit, with WLR Primers. Could anyone please clue me in as to a good start weight and max load to be launched with 2400?
Thank you in advance

If you don't have the time to do it right, when are you going to find the time to fix it?
I like 16 grains with a 150 to 170 grain bullet.

Nora, are you jerking our chains?

Nope I seriously couldn't find anything in a search which I thought was odd. And I'm being lazy. It's way below zero here, and I don't want to take the time to work up a load the normal way. So I'm hoping that given the round has been in use and hand loaded since at least 57BC some one would throw me a free bone to something that I should already know. My brain doesn't fire on all cylinders with it this cold. (this morning the mercury was at -22*F.) Should I just say "the load" and get my butt out side and get shooting?Originally Posted by geargnasher

I have used 16 gr of 2400 with a 165 with good results.
Once I learned how to use this, I realized how great it is. Castpics load data. J

My Marlin 30AS likes 15.5 grains of 2400 with that same boolit.
12-14 grns with my 'ol beater 30-30 170 fp lee
16 is about max as far as I can remember.
It is all good advice. Try some of it!

My 336 likes 17 gr behind Lyman's 173 gr for a fuzz over 1700 fps. This is as fast as I can go with my soft alloy and 2400 before accuracy starts falling off. I also know for a fact its fast enough to do what I want it to do
Some people live and learn but I mostly just live
i tried to search out 30-06 loads here before.
it was faster to guess and go shoot them than it was to find a load.
if i were starting with 2400 in the 30-30 i'd have to start near 17 grs.
and water drop a 150-170gr boolit.
same as i did in the other 30 cals.
12-14g is a good one for general woodswalking.For me 16g-17g was not as accurate.I go to slower stuff if i want a full hunting load.
