I've done the same thing with all my hunting rifles, and for the same reason: I've read a lot of the "Old Colonel's" writing.
In .30, I've used military pulled-FMJs, loaded to 1300-1800fps. I've used a lot of pistol powders in varying amounts, with and without fillers, mostly polyester.
I've mostly used cast bullets, especially in calibers other than .30, though I've more .30 cal molds than an any one caliber.
The idea, of course, is to get them to shoot to POA without adjusting from full-power hunting sight adjustments.
You would shoot them at shorter ranges for small game, and only have a few, 3-5, in your pocket.
Some may deride me for the concept, shooting in the hunting area...may scare game, but I would only use them if I were going to be in the area for a while, not for a weekend hunt.
I live in the West, so may be out for a week, or so. Actually, game is some used to shots being fired within hearing distance.
Have fun,
Gene
