    130 gr Cast load

    What does everyone think:
    10 grains Unique under a 130 grain cast boolit in a 30-30? Does this sound like a good plinking load? or should I start somewhere else?

    I'm curious of what mold you are using.

    That load will work provided that your bullet is sized for the rifle groove diameter.

    That's what I loaded for some bullets that weighed that much but I have not shot them yet. I will post the results when I do. Anyway that what was recommended to me.
    A gun is like a parachute: If you need one and don't have one, you won't be needing one again.

    Ten grains of Unique with a 150 grain bullet is a goot 100 yard target load in the 30-30.

    Every lawbreaker we allow into our nation, or tolerate in our citizen population leads to the further escalation of law breaking of all kinds and acceptance of evil.
    Since almost all aspects of our cultural existence are LIBERAL in most states, this means that the nation is on a trajectory to dissolution by the burden of toleration and acceptance of LAWBREAKING as a norm, a trajectory back to the dark ages of history.

    Personally, I have had better luck with Unique at less than 10 grains with up to 150 grain boolit weight. Anything over 8 grains and not as accurate in 5-different 30-30's.
