30-30 using Unique?

[Harley Quinn]

As the pictures 243 put up show why lead has much less surface touching compared to the full metal jacket of copper...Plus lots of grease!!!

No pressures given about the loads many claim are ok, so you have to go to the guide (book) that gives you the information or trust what others mention that are giving opinions... None of this stuff on the net should be done without good verifiable info some maker has printed...

Opinions are good and do increase conversation and information...The whole of this would never have been reached without it

Imagine how much easier things would be if those who know nothing about what is being discussed didn't opine.

Unique is a dandy reduced load powder for the 30-30 and many other calibres. My favorite 30-30 load is 6.4 grains of Red Dot under a 165 grain cast bullet.( Velocity is 1040fps) Actually flake powders like Unique and Red Dot bulk large enough that double charges are very obvious if you shine a light into the charged cases. Cast bullets are cheap and a great deal of fun but good,safe, reduced loads with jacketed bullets require only a modicum of prudence and intelligence

Ah, alas...a voice of reason and more importantly experience, not opinion.
