Aloha,
Just starting to reload 30-30 Win for my Pre-64 Win Model 94 and having trouble finding load data for my Missouri Bullet Company 165gr RNFP lead bullets. I have factory ammo for pig hunting but want to be able to plink with my daughter at low pressure to avoid leading/recoil...1200-1400 fps. Anyone have recipes or experience?
Mahalo for any info.

For a 168gr RNFP I am using 18.0gr of IMR4198 for about 1600fps. This load is very mild and I didn’t have to adjust my sights much at 100 yards.
I attached the chart from the Lyman cast bullet manual.

Inspector,
Perfect! Greatly appreciate the published data. :worship: I guess I need to get a cast bullet manual huh?
I'll provide a range report as I ladder up my recipes.
Much mahalo Sir,
Kimo

I couldn’t load cast boolits without that manual. If you have a regular Lyman manual a lot of cast boolit load data is in there. Not as much as the cast bullet manual, however.
Two other reduced loads are possible and work well with this cartridge. Hodgdon’s website has two white papers on their website. One for Trail Boss and the other for reduced loads using H4895. I don’t have any personal recipes as I just play around with these 2 powders in rifle cartridges but I have loaded this cartridge with Trail Boss. Feels like shooting a 22. You will have to aim high at 100 yards. Good fun!

Ahh, the 60% redux loads. I have both Trailboss and H4895 so I'm gonna try it too. I love developing and shooting handloads, too much fun!
Thank you my friend,
