30 super carry reloading

I tend to not be an early adopter of the greatest and latest with respect to firearms. My last foray netted me a 300 WSM. That seems to be a dead horse these days. At least I have 500 brass and dies. It will last me the rest of my life as a hunting rifle but not much for long range target. Say 5 years down the road and 30 SC Is popular, I will revisit it. For now my 327 fits the need.

I've seen a lot of women at the range lately (good thing imo) and it may be a perfect fit for them. If your lady perfers it, that is reason enough

My lady and her shooting friends are running 9mm and happy. I guess if you have a new shooter maybe so. I usually get them comfortable with shooting a .22 and then hand them a 9mm...

I don't have an opinion on the need for a new cartridge or which "niche" it may fill. The only "hole" I have for handgun calibers may be somewhere between 9mm and 45 ACP. But I won't own a gun I cannot reload for, except rimfire, and components and reliable data isn't really available. The 30 Super Carry is too new for a full complement of reloading components/data for me. Some will probably want it, for whatever reason (lighter recoil, added magazine capacity, ballistics, etc.), but for now, I'll pass...

I know it's a bit soon to ask but has anyone tried to reload this new cartridge?

Probably going to be slow on the data, came out at a time when everything that already sells, needs replenishment.

Instead of just the 9mm vs .40 vs .45 debate, we can now add .30 SC? I don’t plan on adding this caliber to the stable until there’s a really really good reason, and I usually don’t need one.

It theoretically falls between .380 and 9mm for that reason I don't think it would get into your proposed debate unless the bar was lowered.

My thoughts too.

I shoot .45ACP, .40SW, and 9mm, in that order.... Less than that, .22 for snakes and cheap plinking.....if there is such a thing as cheap plinking any more......

Women in my family do fine with 9mm and stature-wise are on the small side.......380 and 32?....no interest for me, so far. .30SC? Trying to see the reason for such a thing....Maybe some help there? 0.312" dia. bullets? 7.19mm? I guess it's a longer, skinnier .32. At least it's not a .25. People have posted how .30SC is designed for defense. I always thought 9mm was about the minimum for good outcomes there....if you have good expanding bullets at least.

Would be pretty cool to have something like a peterson device that fit 30 cal. Sporting rifles.

Oh.....bet you mean the Pedersen Device they stuck in Springfields to allow them to shoot pistol calibers semi-auto? those were interesting.....

I voted no. But if I could find a six shot J frame with a 2 3/8" barrel chambered in 32 H&R mag I would reload for that, my wife needs such a gun.
