    So I have some 155 gr and 160 gr cast bullets. Looking for anyone's pet load for a 30/30 with cast bullets. I have gas checks and nongas check so any load can be worked with!
    Also any one got a trail boss load for these puppys??

    thanks

    Yeah, fill to 70% of case volume and go up if you still have gas slipping through. Other than that, a really nice and easy load.


    Thanks for the info you gave me at the shop!!!
    I am getting ready to start measuring reloader 15 now!
