Gentlemen,
My chrony recently went blind on me ( doesn't see the boolits as they pass by ), and was wondering if any of you could give me some ballpark velocity numbers on my .30-30 load.
I am loading the Lyman 311041, weighing 179 gr. ready to go.
27.0 gr. IMR-3031, R-P brass, and Winchester WLR primers.

The rifle is a Winchester M94, with a 20" barrel.

Thanks for looking. :cbpour:

Lyman 47th lists that powder charge behind the 311041 in WW cases at 2016fps from a 26" barrel.

I was going to say around 1900, depends on barrel length.

I have used the exact same load for 2 decades. In my 24" barrel I get 2050fps.
