Thanks Slamfire,
The Round nose loads feed well through the action, and are alot of fun to shoot. I am thinking that they are very close in performance to a 30 30 Winchester, the load data indicated that it would produce 2300 fps.
Normaly the loads are tested with a 24" barrel, my carbine has a 21" barrel so I figure im producing around 2200 FPS or so. I need a Conograph.
The recoil is very light, as is the muzzle blast, and at 100 yards it prints a very nice group.

Sarge, you would like one of these, With the loads that I just posted, its very plesant to fire, and acurate, theses loads are lower pressure than the cartridge it was designed to fire. Should be safe, and easy on the older action.
