Ive had great results with H4895 and AA2495 in 30-30, and a friend of mine uses H4895 in his .308 and 30-06 (amongst others) and swears by it.

If you get a chance to try out the spotlight definitely post the results. I don't know about 3300 fps, but I have caught fleeting glimpses of 7.62x39 at 300yds with sun behind me and the darkest areas of the trees as a backstop, so I imagine with a high-powered spotlight and the much darker...

I've had it happen a few times at the range I typically shoot at, as the sun is perfectly behind us while shooting in the afternoon/evening. Its normally just an "oh cool look at that" and that is about it. Last week though it was nice, I was sighting in my 10/22 after modifying the quad rail...

If you are able to get the gun as steady as possible (gun-vice or sandbags) find out where it is consistently off without the bayonet. Then use a hammer and punch to carefully drift the front sight until you are on target. Then, if you really feel the need to fire it with the bayonet you will...

Hmm... maybe the site I used for reloading data was flawed then? I used the Lee Safety Powder Scale to measure every charge, since this is my first time at reloading. Slow, but wanted to be 100% sure until I get more comfortable with it. I got my data from this link, provided by a THR member...

Makes sense. Ill hold off on the Mexican Matching until I can find some powder that I actually have load data on the 7.62x54R for, and get the dies for it. Thanks :D

I was trying to make the ME work in the 30-30, but unfortunately I don't see it working. My recommended load range was between 27.8 and 30.9 grains. Once into my cases above 29 grains, the bullet was actually compressing into the powder so much that I couldn't get most of them above that grain...

I was looking for the LeverE powder when I bought the first batch of supplies, but couldn't find anyone with it in stock, let alone that AND primers in stock (trying to save on Hazmat fee). When it is time for another jug I will definitely look again. As for recoil/scope, I have a Rossi Rio...

Thanks for the advice, I love these forums :) I managed to get all the bullets out with a lot of time and a pair of pliers, but I like the idea of using the press to pull them, would have saved me some time haha. It looks like they opened back up to around where they were when I fired them, so...

So... I just started reloading, got everything set up today, did my first batch of 30-30. Or tried to, rather. Got my cases all trimmed, primed, and powdered. Started putting in the bullets and realized the COL was way off when I seated in the crimp groove. Some of the higher grain rounds (that...

That looks like it may be exactly what I am looking for. Thanks a bunch :D Looks like I should start off with 27.8 Grains and not exceed 30.9

First off I want to say, I have been reading THR for quite some time now. Some random finds have helped me with a lot of my firearm issues or questions. I thought about it today, why not make an account? Definitely a lot of helpful people here. I just purchased my first reloading set (Lee...
