I have loaded many rifle calibers from 221 Fireball to 6mm-284, but have never loaded a single 30-30. Dad pass about 1.5 years ago and I have his mid 70's Winchester 30-30 top eject and would like to try some load for it. I am looking for something that is fun to shoot, but will carry 100 yards for steel plates. I have a mildly bad rotator cuff and do not really enjoy full house rifle loads off hand, off bench is fine. I am thinking 3031 and maybe a 150 round nose... Am I in the ball park with this idea? I have not selected a bullet yet, I am going to have to look at my molds and see if I have anything with a round or flat nose. I still need to get dies and maybe a mold.
So, mid velocity, 150-160 grain bullet and not horrible recoil...
Suggestions?
Thanks Matt
