Hello all !! ill get right into it.
this load will be a 1 in the chamber, 1 in the tube. EVER! for safety reasons.
I'm out of my Sierra #2000 150gr FN that I've been using to reload my 30/30 and supply is low and I've spent my reloading budget already this month LOL.
I have 100 Hornady #30501 168gr BTHP (pointy tip I know) so I was looking around for some load data to try this round out in my Marlin 336. My books have 150gr, and 170gr data. Is the .002gr difference on the 170gr load data going to make it too hot or will it not matter that much. I was thinking I could reduce the 170gr load by 2 to 3 % if needed.
opinions?
