I'm thinking of trying to work up some indoor, 18-yard loads for the .30-30 so the kids can shoot it without all the recoil and stuff of a full charge. I have some 1960's era Norma 150 grain jsp which are kind of semi-round nose... and some 110 grain FMJ intended for the .30 Carbine. Can I use either of these bullets with "the load" or with the other "gallery" loads using around 7 grains of bullseye I've seen floating around recently? Where can I go to learn about light loads?
Also I've read that H4895 can be reduced up to 40% safely... is that 40% from suggested starting loads?
I'd rather use a light charge of unique, bullseye, or Red Dot rather than use up my limited stock of 4895 if possible.
I don't expect anyone to guarantee safety nor will I blame anyone for his/her data or opinions. I undertake this with full understanding that I am responsible. I'd like resources to read if possible.
I just read that old link to the Ed from Ed's red and he was shooting pulled M2 150 grain fmj in the .30-06 using 7 grains of bullseye if I remember correctly... would it be reasonable to assume that the .30-30 case should respond similarly? Most places that talk about "the load" or gallery type loads say that it should work in any "military sized" case of around .30 caliber. Any input welcome.
