I don't load anything that uses lpp's, so what to do with them.
I've attempted the shotgun primer conversion, and although it worked the second time, that was a pain in the rear to do for just 10, and I found 800.
I was thinking maybe I could use them in my plinker .30-30 loads.
Currently my plinker is a 7.0grs of trail boss with a 160gr gc'd bullet. But I'm wanting to do the next batch with a 130gr non gc'd boolit from the 311410 mold(I believe that's the number).
This isn't a 'goto' or 'hunting' round, this is just for the wife and kids to plink with. So, I'm not too familiar with trail boss powder and I can find no information on the 130gr boolit with trail boss.
Is using the same 7.0grs of trail boss with the 130gr cb and the lpp a feasible combination that won't hurt anything? I like the trail boss for the plinker loads because my daughter usually loads those(with supervision) and the trail boss appears to have a reputation of being almost impossible to overload.
If not using the lpp(I'm just trying to figure out a way to burn those up), would the load be a feasible and decent load using a lrp in place of the lpp.
I don't do a lot of experimenting with unpublished/unknown-to-me data, so I figure someone here may have the answer from attempting something similar.
Logic, to me, would dictate increasing the charge to about 8.0grs, but at the same time, I don't think it's necessary, that's why I'm asking. Hodgdon has 6.5grs-9.0grs using the 160gr cb, but no data that I can find anywhere using trail boss and 130gr cb.
I had a website bookmarked with more castload data, but lost it when the computer crashed last month and can't remember what it was called.
