I'd like to duplicate the .30-30 160-gr LEVERevolution factory loads for use in a new stainless steel Marlin 336.
Checking the Hornady website, they list 2400 fps for their factory loaded ammunition, but only go as high as 2100 fps in their reloading data using H4895, TAC, and AA 2520 powders. They list a max load of 29.8-gr IMR 4895, MV 2000 fps.
What experience can you provide reloading this 160-gr FTX bullet in .30-30, including muzzle velocities and chamber pressure? Can you recommend a suitable reloading manual?
