    Cast Rifle and Hi-Tek Loads

    Has anyone worked up loads for rifles using cast + Hi-Tek?
    Specifically: Do you use Cast Load data, Jacketed Load data, or somewhere in between?
    Currently looking at .30-30, 308, .270 Win, .45-70.

    I have shot a few lower velocity 45-70 loads. 24 gr of 2400 with a 420gr plainbase. They worked fine.
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.
