I have been looking for a load for my 30-30 using WSF but havent had much luck as of yet. I am not one to experiment in uncharted territory with powders but looking on burn charts its just a little slower than Unique and real close to Herco. I am not looking for full house loads but something to shoot my cast boolits. I have talked to Winchester but they said it wasn't listed for loads in 30-30 so that's about as far as that conversation got. Has anyone had any experience with WSF or is this pretty much a dead end with this powder for this caliber?

I shot it in 30-06 with 200 gr cast, notes show 15.0 grs gave 1555 fps average and 5 into 1.3 at 100yds. It is real close to Herco so start data can be used, work up.

I was thinking that the Herco data would be a good place to start as well. I am going to try titegroup and reddot as well but I think I would rather save that for 9mm and 40. I like that the WSF will fill up the 30 30 case a little more.

Wish I had a couple jugs of it, I used most for 12 ga slug loads where it was the shiznits, Herco replaced it.

I found this jug after everything went crazy. I know its not the best powder for 30 30 but with cast boolits I dont think a pig or paper will be able to tell which powder I am using. With 3 teenagers shooting it will make an affordable load. May even be as cheap as shooting 22s.....lol
