I just set up my 550 to load for my new 30-30 Contender barrel. I did some searching and found alot of people were having good luck using 5744 and 4759 under my bullet (Lyman 311041). I tried both powders, and Dillons measure was horrible at throwing consistant loads with those powders. (I'm used to H322, Bullseye and other fine kerneled powders). I really would like to load these progressively, and have 8lbs. of 8208 staring up at me......
I know it burns a little faster than 4895, but would it be sacrilegious to use a benchrest powder in a 30-30? LOL. Really, has anyone tried it yet, and if so, could you share your data? I know it would flow better through the measure, and I have alot of it. Thanks-
