Info and load data please

[Follow Me]

Greetings to all.
I have a “new-to-me” Gen 1 Contender with a MGM 10” 30 REECE barrel. And, I have a 165 grain SAECO Mould #315.
Is this a workable combination for paper and/or soda can punching and, maybe, a vermin or two at a 100 yd range.
Does anyone have load data and/or experiences that they will share?
Thank you for your time.
Prayers for you and your family.

Continue the mission.

If I remember right it is like a 300 Whisper Rimed or a 300 Blackout Rimed
So I googled it and found a few links

I'm not familiar with your cartridge but the Saeco 315 is a wonderful bullet. I shoot it in both 30-30 and 308 with good success.
Good Luck,
Rick

You can use 32-20 load data. I think the case capacity is almost identical. This is also very similar to the 30 Badger. You can look here for some older threads with load data. If I'm not mistaken, one of the favorite bullets for the 30 Badger was the 113gr Lee Soup Can Mold. The only real difference between the badger and the reece is the angle of the case neck shoulder. The Badger is reloaded with 7.62x25 dies and a 38spl shell holder.
