I just aquired about 200 165 gr. hollowpoint gas checked casts in a trade and am wanting to load them in a Savage 340 bolt action 30-30 . Am hoping to get around 1800 fps and wonder if any of you have loaded for any of the various bolt guns out there and am looking for powder recommendations . I have some H4895 , H335, H322, Varget, IMR4064, W748 and a pretty vast array of faster pistol/shotgun powders . The bullets ( boolits ) are cast at 13 BHN as best I can decipher with my Lee tester and lubed with a black ( thinking moly ) lube . The bullets are of a Loverin design similar to Ltman/Ideal 311414 in design but as stated are hollow pointed and gas checked . If you have any insight for me I would greatly appreciate it . I tried to use the search function by typing in 30-30,,,, 30/30,,,, 30 30 to look for archived help and all I got was no items found as the reply . Dunno what I did wrong there but seems like there has to be some stuff hidden away I should be able to pull up . Look forward to your replies guys !!!
