H&r 30-30 .

[Harter66]

I gave the kids the last 30-30 so now I have to start over . I never found a really bad load in the Savage 325 so here's to hoping this little gem is as fussy .

What I have is an H&R Handi in 30-30 Dad bought several years ago and never shot I guess . No ammo so I'm starting from scratch with this .
I have several brass flavors .
I have several moulds .
I haven't slugged yet , so , 309299 , 309-160R2 , Cramer #45 , 312-155 , 313226 (97grPB) ,311-165 RD , 301618 , 312-230 NOE , best suggestions ? I think there's one missing .

I had good success with I4350 and Unique in the Savage , should I expect the same ?

Just iron sights and no real desire to scope it , I do have a couple of FP type Williams sights I might try on it though .
Probably a project for grands , 4-15 yr .

The first thing I would suggest is to slug the barrel, that will tell you what molds you can use (unless you powder coat!)

the win 94 did good in 30-30 all the H&R guns I have shoot good and being a single shot you don't have to worry about the nose profile

The little H&R sure is fun, reduced loads are really easy. Attachment 270980

Getting it down to a fiesty 22 mag I suspect is easy .

I was kind of looking for speed bumps and pot holes but it doesn't seem like there are any in a fixed breach 30-30 , vs a lever .

Your ranch dog will work great ,I sized mine 310 and will work in my 94 /Marlin and the H+R and the lee 170FN ( GC )is another great mold and they shoot great and kill stuff/Ed

I like the Lee 185 gr gas checked over about 6 grains of Red Dot.
Lubed with 3 light coats of BLL it shoots very very well in my H&R dirty thirty. Not bad in the win 94 lever either.

I would have thought that 4350 would be a little slow burning for cast bullets but then again, life's too short to try everything. I wanted a plain base mold for 30 cal, and I'm starting to like the Accurate 31-175BP with Bullseye powder. Accurate also has the same mold w/gas check.

Ive tried to get down to a half dozen powders . I use the 4350 under the too slow to get hurt fast enough to avoid a SEE slow push for 18" in the core calibers , 25-32 on my bench , so it fits perfectly for PB cast in the 30 Win and 32 Rem .
