Well, to get started, I've cast alot for handguns but I'm new to casting for a rifle.
I just got a Lee 150 gr. FN gas check bullet mold that drops bullets at .312.
The bullets will be shot in a 30-30 Winchester94 . Bore Dia. is .308.
My question is, I've lubed and seated the gas check with a .313 sizer. Is the bullets too big? I haven't loaded any yet, but If there is no chambering problems this should be fine, right? Lube is Blue Angle. Alloy is Clip on WW qwenched.
Also, I have these Powders to work with.
RL-7
IMR 3031
IMR 4895
H335
I've read these are good powders for 30-30 cast loads. What powder charges should I start with?
If I use 2400 do I have to use a filler? If so, what do I use?
Thanks for any answers to these questions fellas.
