I would use Hornady FTX if you wanted a high end bullet for 30-30. Same bullet they use for there LEVERevolution rounds.

My buddy was shooting factory lerevolution bullets before. Had a devil of a time sighting in as about every 3rd or 4th one would take a HUGE flyer and be like over a foot off. Anyone else have issues?

I use Oregon Trail Laser Cast for my .30-30 and .32 Special. Work great and no leading.

Tagging along. Just looked and I don't have any 30-30 appropriate bullets... I don't have a 30-30 rifle either but I do have several hundred brass, dies and a buddy that lets me shoot his 30-30 golden boy often.

I load for my dad's 1894 in 25-35 and I had a lot of fun finding 25 cal 117's lead free round nose. I was to avoid spitzers in a tube magazine because you could set off a primer... is that for real?

I have used 110gr 30 carbine bullets with excellent results.

I just found 200 30 cal 150 grain RN SP bullets... now to pick a powder and work up a load

Win 748, IMR4064, IMR3031, IMR4895. There are a lot of powders that work in the 30-30. Unique if you shoot cast like goldfish and I do.

The 200 I have are jacketed soft points.... Now all I need is a gun. I'd love a 94, golden boy would be nice... this might be acceptable if it weren't for the glow sights and the rail :yuck:

How much does an empty 8 pound jug weigh?

I just fount a partial jug of 3031 that weighs 5# 9OZ

I'm not even sure what I have that for..I think I was going to get another garand????

Depends on what you want to do.

I have great success plinking with Missouri Bullet Company 165 RNFP over 5.5 grains of Red Dot.

Cheycast bullets have also worked well for me.

Edit: seems both companies are generally backordered.

Good luck!
