Best price I find for powder where I’m at is from $24 to a high of $34 depending on what powder it is.

H335 is my go to powder for the 223 but I never thought about it for the 30-30. I might have to give it a try.

Nice gun, makes me miss my handi rifle that I had chambered in 35 whelen. I sometimes wish I would have never sold it.
Forum: Cast Boolits
In my opinion, it’s a great addiction to have. LOL! I’ve been wanting to break my out my LEE 4-20 and do some casting but it’s been so hot and humid lately.
