I thought i had everything ready to go load my cast 170-180 gr bulletas and load my Old 30-30 with balard rifling and shoot tomorrow.
Dang all i have is a handheld pistol primer/ primer thingy( all i have ever loaded has been for pistol shooting). Large rifle primers won't fit( i thought about getting the dremmel out:twisted: ). So back to the store tomorrow. I need to please the cast boolit spirit more often and pay some hommage. I have had this old Marlin 30-30 for several months now. Maybe, just maybe sunday i'll be in cast boolit dream world. I had plans on trying some light loads such as; 6.5 grs of red dot,7 grs of Unique and some 7 grs of IMR sr 4756. All under a cast 180 gas checked C309-170 tumble lubed. These are all starting loads for the 170 gr Lyman cherry mold 311041. BTW I have never loaded a cast rifle round in my life. I almost did tonight.
