cast saga for my 30 carbine

[Cottonpicker]

I've been using 2400 in my M1 carbine loads with the 311359. 11.5grs with a small rifle magnum primer works for me.

Impressive. I've been looking at the 90gr XTP for years, but read of some folks having feeding issues. That's a great 10 shot group out of a carbine though.

I don't remember ever shooting factory ammo.
Maybe I should try.

the five round mags were about 20.00 a pop. i got two (all the store had) for hunting as an auto has to have less then 10 in Maine. i use lee push through sizers so your .308 would not work on my bench.

How do factory rounds group at 100, you may be asking more than the carbine can do. I just put the last of my Lee 120 gr in brass and i am not sure when i am going to get to casting again.

I am still looking for anybody who has data on a 90 grain the carbine. Anybody tried it and did they get good results.

Don't have any H110, but people say Win296 is the same thing.
Is that correct????
I think I may have tried Win296. I'll have to check the records.

I hear people talk about Win 296 but like Bigfoot I have never seen it.
When i bought my carbine i asked the dealer to throw in a box or two of ammo and he did, only the third time a dealer ever did this. But i shot it to establish a baseline for accuracy in that the rounds were Mil Spec and what was designed for the carbine, I am still working up loads and have not shot at 100 yet but the 120 lee boolit seems to do as well as factory at 50 and once i take it out again i will do a comparison at 100.

Winchester 296 and H110 are identical. The only difference is the name/label.



I've been using AA #9 for 30 Carbine, but I have 5 lbs of Win 296 I may use if I run out.

[308Jeff]

I use H110 almost exclusively for reloading cast and jacketed bullets.

13.5 gr H110 under the 311359, 1875 fps....my standard go to load cast bullet load.

14 gr H110 under the 313631 (105 gr SWC for the 32 H&R), 1950 fps....my standard cast bullet hunting load.

15.5 gr H110 under the 110 gr Hornady half jacket, 1940 fps.....an excellent all around jacketed load.

15 gr H110 under the Hornady 90 gr XTP, 2160 fps,.....probably the best jacketed SD and small game/vermin jacketed load for the 30 Carbine.

Look what you made me do.

One of the steps to appease addiction is atonement.......you should send 3 or 4 of those to me so I could sympathize with you........

Do I have to send you the free fillet knife I got too?
