311247 in anything besides 300/221

[Wayne S]

Just wondering if anyone has tried the 311247 in anything other than a 300/221 ?
Say like 30-30 or 30 Herrett Contenders

I shoot it in a 30-06, 35gr H4895 gives me 1950fps and clover leaf groups at 100 in my Savage Edge.

In my 30-06 it sounds like a .22LR loaded over 11.0gr. of Trail Boss. Super accurate out to 300M, I don't have the sights to go further out!

In the CZ 527, 7.62X39 over 8.5gr. WC820 it's an easy sub MOA gun at 100M and also holds it fine to 300M. Again, I run out of view in the scope any further out. This rifle has a fixed 10X mil dot scope, and sighted to the top dot at 50M it's easy to use the dots to make hits to 200M very quickly.

Both loads are very quiet and hit the steel gongs with authority.

How does it hold together for 5 shot strings? GC or PB versions?

It's kind of like throwing darts at long range - you can watch (on the rifle with the scope) the boolits track in and keep going through the same little hole. Plain base, no need for gas checks at these speeds. Oh, the 30-06 is 1:10 twist and the CZ is about 1:9.5. I haven't tried these boolits in 1:12 but I doubt they'd work too well.
