30-30 pistol powder

[res7s]

I have now loaded my 30-30 with unique,blue dot,red dot and 2400. I want more loads using pistol powder. I would like some using 700x,800x or PB. Bullet weights would be 100-180 gr cast lead OR jacketed. If you have some please share them. I have the Trail Boss data already. Thank you so much.Jim

I got the blue dot loads here.

http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=173926

I have used the 170gr data with 150gr jacketed bullets

The Red dot comes from handloader Issue # 233
wt........................Bullet.............................powder.....................charge...................Vel
140gr............ SAECO 62630 FP................ Alliant Red Dot ...............7.0gr.................1,337 FPS
150gr.............RCBS 150-CM.....................Alliant Red Dot.................7.0gr................1,285 FPS
175gr.............NEI 43 175.308 GC...............Alliant Red Dot................8.5gr ................1,323 FPS

The 2400 loads came from here.
http://www.reloadammo.com/3030load.htm

The only load I had before the internet was for unique it was 9-10 gr under a 100gr plinker. 9 gr is what I used(ok I'm cheap). I used the 10gr load under 150gr jacketed bullets for years.
The 13gr bluedot load with 150gr lead bullet is listed on the alliant sight. They also have a load using 2400. I know you have seen the trailboss loads on the hodgdon site. This was sent to me this morning. http://www.gmdr.com/lever/lowveldata.htm Ed Harris said the 30-06 loads were spot on. So I may try a few of them.

I posted this question on several different sites. I wanted to try and
get as many new loads as possible. I also wanted to compare the answers.
I posted the links so you could see the various responses.
I thought it would be easier to share like this.
Some of the people were quite helpful.
