Just for giggles more then anything .
Had some semi reject bullets I use for my Mosin on the bench. They cast at .316 I size them down to .314 for my Mosin's .313 bore ( probably need to bump up to .315 honestly not that have the sizer). Just out of curiosity I was like " hay wonder what would happen if I sizes these way down to .310 ( what I shoot in my regular.308 bore rifles) and since I had my .310 sizer why not. And , wasn't super hard at all , slid right though, with very little effort, was probably because they where .314 already. Then I just got one of my lube sizers up and running with a .310 sizer as well... soooo
One of the left is .310 the right is .314

And then the the lube sizer

Makes kinda a slick sided bore rider deal, lots of bearinh surface. Figured with the power coat I could actually cast these pretty soft and take advantage of the deep HP. The powder coat acting like a polymer jacket you can go softer then if I was just using straight lube. Then the gas check and the lube have their own deals lol.
So a little comparison between what in loading for the 30-30 ( the 115 red lill at the end vs the 213 pill in the middle

One thing I was concerned about was the face I'd have to seat this below the shoulder which I've always have been told is ill advised

After reading for a few hours and comparing some stuff 30-30 and .300 savage have a lot in common after a too from one of y'all [emoji16] Some rechecking of some old knowledge along with researching some cast exclusive wild cats , yeah it's more then doable

Apparently like a lot of stuff this idea was developed a while ago when stuff was a bit different but with modern advances, and honestly just little stuff like hard lead alloy ,it's kinda a null point....to a degree but stuff like .300blk does it all the time along with a few others like it's Russian equivalent and think the 8.6blk too.
Anyhow didn't have the best powder but 3031 with a good case fill has been being a good performer in my cast loads . So just used a load for a 170gr pill . Will say though really had to seat these deep for them to chamber well. I don't crimp and use custom coal/CBTO for each rifle so no big deal

So yeah idk man this is a brush gun , all the brush shots I've made down here are 50yd and less snap shots honestly last few shots I've made on hogs in thickets was less then 25yd with my sks.Idk man if I'm planning on shooting 200yd I'm not going to be packing this, if I'm going to be shooting out of a stand I'm not going to be packing this , if I'm kicking though briar patches like y'all have seen in my fence checking posts then yeah I'd bring this. Any how with that being said and the fact I just wanted to goof around ,five rounds off hand 35yd . Wanted to see if these would even fly straight instead of keyhole more then anything....you know and see if I blow my fact off lol laugh gotta say, it don't really kick more then just a stout push.
Tried catching the recoil Impulse here but egh does really show too well. Is a little smoky though.
