Need load info for 30-30

notnow

I bought some cast 135 gr 30 cal flat nose bullets at a gun show. The seller had no load data. I bought them anyway. 4 yrs. ago. Loading for 30-30 in a mod 94. Lots of 150 gr data. None for 135 gr. Just high and low parameters would help. I'm looking for manageable pressures and velocity. I have RE7 and IMR3031 and likely others. thanks.

Lead bullet data for 150 gr will work fine for 135 gr.  You can only push the bullets so hard, they will both top out in velocity before you reach max pressure level.  I'll drag out my Lyman books and look later today.

added Still looking for the cast bullet data book.

Thanks. I hadn't considered that.

125 gr  Unique 13.0  1350 fps

150 gr Unique 9.0  1300 fps
