Does any one have any loading data for cast boolits for the 7-30? The Lyman 49th edition doesn't have much.

Augercreek, are you loading for a 14in Contender?

I just so happen to be starting my work with the 130 Soupcan. I am all ears... LOL

Good read, but I didn't see any cast loads listed.

No I'm building another single shot RB in that calibre.

I have the TC load book, but it is 200 miles away. I will look it up this weekend and see what I find.

No 'hands on' experience with the 7-30 Waters but, years ago, I shot the IHMSA 7R (.30-30 necked down to 7mm) in a 14" Contender. Unfortunately, I've mislaid my reloading notes from those days but there's a penciled notation inside the cover of my 80s-vintage IHMSA Reloading Guide that says "7R Int. - 27.5 IMR3031/152 RCBS/Fed 210/W-W cases - good acc'y no leading". No longer own the mould but, as I recall, the boolit was a gas-checked 145 gr RCBS that finished (lubed, w/GC) at 152 gr. from the alloy I was using for sillywhets. Also seem to recall having some success with H4198 but no specifics. Will see if I can find that notebook tonite.
