I've loaded .243 Winchester reduced loads as well as .30-06 Springfield reduced loads. Both were for smaller shooters. I use H4895 for these loads. I also load a .30-30 Winchester load with lead from local supplier, now MBC coated, with both H4895 and IMR4227. I like the IMR powder better for...

I've used IMR-4227 with the MBC hi-tek 165 grain bullet. I like it so much I bought another pound of powder so I don't run out. Lyman manual has load data and I found it works well for me.

Max loads of IMR-4831 have worked better for me than anything else. If I recall correctly, 56 grains with a 130 grain bullet. YMMV

Personally, I would stop using XTP bullets for target practice. I would use a plated bullet with win231 and not look back. Cleaner than lead for only a penny more. Xtreme bullets are nice and so are Berry's bullets. I load 3.5 grains of 231 with a 158 grain plated bullet for a soft practice round.

I've have success using Varget powder in my .22-250 Remington. I use 34.5 grains of powder behind a 53 grain A-Max bullet for excellent groups. I also use CCI Large Rifle Match primers, turn my necks, uniform primer pockets, and de-burr flash holes. I think it's around 3600 fps, but I don't have...

Have you tried the 46 grain Winchester JHP bullets? Probably more expensive than 40 grain V-Max, but they should be the factory bullet for Winchester ammo. Also, Barnes makes a 30 grain Varmint Grenade bullet specifically for the hornet. They shoot excellent for me with Lil'Gun.

I've been lucky enough to have been given about 40-50 pieces of boxer primed, brass cased, once-fired range pick-ups from a buddy of mine. I don't have bullets or dies and probably have around 150 rounds of brown bear ammo to use first. If I came across a set of dies cheap enough, I would load...

I think your hunting range should be a consideration as well. A light bullet up close may cause superficial damage (blow-up) and a heavy bullet may not give you the desired trajectory for long range shooting. I had a 130 grain Hornady SST blow-up at 180 yard broadside shot that destroyed much of...

I found that my rifle shoots great with Reloader 22. I get great groups and fantastic velocity with a very minimal spread between shots. I like it a lot.

I typically use W231 at 3.5 grains with a 158 grain plated or lead bullet. Works great for reduced recoil.

Great article in the current Handloader {magazine # 293 page 58} about loading 44 mag for lightweight handguns. Some load info is as follows: Using a RIMROCK 200 grain hard cast RNFP bullet set to 1.573" Trail Boss----->6.5 grains --------> 841 fps Clays----->4.5 grains...

I only use a FL die setting for .30-30 WCF in a lever-action. You could adjust the die incrementally while attempting to chamber the brass in your rifle between adjustments. When you feel like its where you want it, you could set the lock ring and keep your setting.

Check your headspace Double Check your Full Length Die setting

While I'm sure your ammo will turn out fine, I can't help but spot an opportunity here to bring up the problems associated with brass that is trimmed too short. It happens more commonly to magnum rifle calibers due to excessive flame temp, but I'm sure it could affect others as well...

You could make your own snake shot loads...for hunting pythons and such

Scale (Digital is fine) Powder Measure (Lee is fine) Dies (Lee is fine) Press (Lee hand press kit) Will set you back about $150 or You could buy the kit from Kempfs (better deal) $250 or You could buy a Dillon and never look back $400 (capable of 300 rounds an hour...

I have used Varget and 52 grain Hornady A-Max bullets with great success in both calibers. http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/0000322492/22_Caliber_point224_Diameter_52_Grain_Boat_Tail_A-Max_100_Count

I suggest you save more money and buy individual pieces over time at sale prices.

Don't forget about these inexpensive kits: http://www.midsouthshooterssupply.com/item/000157631384/Super_Moly_Accessory_Kit_
