Heavy weight, light load for contender 30/30

[williamwaco]

Funny you should say that. I am having the same issue with NOE 314008's sized to fit my .30-30 Husky. Not doing well. 160gr boolit cloverleaf groups.

thanks for that report!

I thought I was crazy.

My .327 Federal Mag 4" will shoot that bullet as close at 50 yards as my TC .30-30 with a 14x scope!

Something is fishy there.

Well with 150 grain boolits in 30-30 you can get 1900-2100 fps depending upon powder in 14 inch, I'd expect you could add on 200-300 fps easy.

Well, I'm getting in on this powder coating thing. I have some coated 100g plain base boolits.
I wanna see just how tough this powder costing business is so I loaded them over 35.0g of Varget.
Booya!! That ought prove if the powder coating will hold up or not.


.....ether way, y'all say a prayer for my wrists. LOL

The LEE 113 lubed and checked of WCWW+1% tin comes out of mine at 124g. I've had good luck in .308/.30-06, .300WBY with it. Big flat nose for wacking and I think I may need a 30-30 just for it.
