Like many others right now that can't get the exact supplies they need or want i'm trying to make a round that I can't find info for.

I have a box of Speer Boat tails in 150 grains, cci large rifle primers and IMR 4064 powder and I would like to use it to make some target or fun rounds for my 30-30 winchester.

Yes I know that due to the tube design that this combo is taboo but since I have a scope on the gun and it doesn't permit easy ejection I tend to use it as a single shot. As a single shot I won't run into tube magazine problems.

Can anyone help with data. I had some data but for the life of me I can't find it.
