reloading the 30-30 winchester

[Rocky Raab]

Both Hornady and Speer make almost identical bullets. They are half-jacket with a round or slightly pointed nose core of almost pure lead. Hornady (#3005) calls theirs a "308 short jacket" and Speer (#1805) calls theirs "308 Plinker" on the boxes. Both weigh 100 grains.

Two things happened with my website, neither of which I'm smart enough to fix. One is when Microsoft changed the program I used to design it, the new one scrambles the old code. Second, Internet Explorer now either scrambles the code itself OR displays the pages flush right instead of left.

I'd have to completely re-do every page from scratch (and there's 50 Meg of stuff in there!) or YOU can use Firefox or Chrome browsers. Both of those read the pages perfectly.

I thought you guys would cover most of the 30-30 stuff but you skipped over my bullets and loads. I use the RCBS 150 FP and the RCBS 165 FP. I use 10 gr of Unique with both for good accuracy. I have also used H-4227, 4895 and 3031 with the 165 for good accuracy. I can not recall the 4895 load, but it was an old JD Jones silhouette load and pretty stout. The 3031 load was 30 grains and the H-4227 was 17 grains.
Best,
Ed

PS: Unique goes well with Corn Flakes.

Thanks Rocky, Firefox fixed the website problem. I can now read your stuff again. Re the 30cal plinker bullets: My mail order components supplier carries the Speer bullet but not the Hornady. Price (w/o S&H) is just over $14/100. Will be trying these shortly.
