Reduced load 30-30 for the kids and the ladies...

Sky Soldier
and the guys get ticked off because I don't have two saddle guns. Fun to shoot through a '94 Wrangler..Bigloop lever, 16" bbl. Minimal kick and very accurate.
CCI primer - 22 gr. IMR4198 powder - 115 gr. L FPBB Beartooth bullet and a stout crimp.

What's yours?

    7 grains of Trail Boss powder with a 170 gr lead bullet is a great plinking load. Good 100 yrd shooter & very low recoil.

    I use a 170 grain cast bullet and a modest charge of Unique in the .30-30, in a pre-war Winchester 94. It's a great 50-yard can load, but could probably also be used on critters, as it's in the ballistic territory of the original .32-40 load.

    I second the Trail Boss and a cast lead bullet.

    Thanks for responding/sharing guys. I'm thinking less lead = less recoil. These are mouse phart loads suitable for someone who is new to shooting, they can always learn how to handle recoil after they learn the basics.

    The Trail Boss can go down to 6.5 grains with a 160 gr cast bullet.

    I liked Unique under a cast boolit better than Trail Boss,seemed to burn better,did have a tad more recoil but still way down from factory fodder..not even close to it. great plinker round with either caliber.
