After sundown last night I shot a single 3 shot group from three of my rifles. The last time I shot was during a Northern. That's why everything is to the left on target because there was no wind yesterday. My custom Mauser 30-30 with Lee C309150F over 25grs 3031 showed the 22-250 with factory 55gr Vmax what for. My Tikka 8x57 turned in a 2" group with PP 196 sp factory loads. To add to the insult the 30-30 wears a 4x Weaver w/post reticle; the 22-250 a 3x9 Nikon Coyote. I'm not sold on all the circles in that Nikon!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180216/c831f0f18971d9082ccc2bbdf1aa874a.jpg

The range is 100 yards, the temp was 70 something, I was resting on leather bags. The targdots are 1".

Nice shootn Tex! Always wanted to say that. That distance is always in the 30-30 realm. Sometimes the simplest things are enough. Keep up the good work.

Thanks, Lawdog. I'm looking forward to finding a good boolit load for the 8mm. A VERY generous member here provided a cornucopia of styles to try!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180216/61d65a510b8525770c1758bad328195d.jpg

If I got a .30-30 shooting like that, I'd call it done, and move on to something else.

Good shooting !

I'm going to try other powders now because I'm out of 3031. But I'll get some more eventually. This load has shot like this enough to call it a pet load!

Any velocities for that 25.0 3031 loading?

8mm 175 RNFP GC GB mold and 18.5 - 21.5 gr Milsurp 4759, 22.5 looked like a buckshot pattern
5 at 21.5 4759 looked like your 30-30 target, but I only shot at 50 also.

TCLouis, the last time I chrono'd this load averaged 1840 fps out of my 22" bolt action.
