30-30 and Unique...
I went to my buddy's house one day to pick up some brass and drop off some for him when his dad comes out of the house with his TC Contender with a 30-30 barrel on it. He hands it to me and tells me to squeeze off a round at one of their backyard targets and after I do, all i see is a white cloud of toilet paper come out of it.
After seeing my look of surprise and the ensuing laughter from both of them, he informs me that it was loaded with only two grains of Unique and the rest of it crap paper. But he came out with a handful of rounds and I shot at the target another 10 times and it was a VERY accurate load, out to their 50 yard target but it didnt have the umph but was comparable to shooting light .38 Spl loads.
He said that when he wants to just pop a few he loads up beaucoup of these loads just to play around, and I can see why, they were just fun to shoot. but he did inform me that if he didnt stuff the crap paper in there it would blow the gun up.
My question is, if Unique isnt compacted would it cause excessive pressures?
