181gr GC lead-tip water quenched bullet from Emmet Boaz 30 grains WC846 surplus powder (H-335 data) Fed GM210M primer This produced a 3 shot group of 1.612" @ 100yds Haven't chronographed the load yet. I suspect it's around 2100 fps To me the .30-30 velocities are perfect for cast bullets. I had loaded the .30-06 with some of the same bullets, but I see no benefit in the .30-06 case.

Who sez ya can't take deer with a cast bullet?
![]() ![]() ![]() Welcome to the club. It's too bad you didn't include an unfired buller as well for comparison. I was curious as to the original configuration. Anyway, nice job. Paul B. |

Nice looking bullet. Did you buy this bullet or cast it yourself? I read a article in one of the mags some while back about casting a pure lead tip on a harder base and was interested in trying it but never got around to it. Looks like Lyman's super moly lube in the grooves. Were you able to seat your bullet in the 30/30 case without pushing the gas-check below the neck and still cycle the action? I don't have your 846 powder but I've sure got some H335. BM

The NEF single shot also allows for a longer seating length.
