    .311 160 grain GC bullets

    I have loaded my 30-30 with .309 173 Grain GC bullets from Montana Bullet Works. I used 28 grains of varget (lee load data) and they shot very well. I just received some .311 160 grain GC bullets from Beartooth. I was wondering if anyone has load data for these. I have a supply of Varget, IMR 3031 and RL-7.

    Has anyone used Accurate 2520 to load cast bullets in the 30-30?

    Try them with the load you're using with the 173 grain bullets you already have. If those have been shooting well, that's a good place to start.
