0.02'th. longer than called for. I don't think you'll have a problem with jamming. My Winchesters are kind of finicky in there charges. Always seem to like a recipe's Minimum side.Your idea of putting a pointed bullet onto a 30-30 brass is not that unusual. As I have a Savage 1899 lever rifle and one of my friends has a Savage 340 bolt action. Both allow this type cartridge (PSP) bullets to be used. Just the tube fed rifle manufactures frown on such activity for their rifles. Otherwise I shoot PSP out of my 30-30 Savage lever all the time. And just so you know why Hodgdon Winchester and IMR all three powders are listed on one Web site. Hodgdon bought the two other company's. I would say Hodgdon use to be considered a mediocre player in comparison with all the other powder manufactures a few years ago here in the States. Not no more. Now their the BIG dog of those still in business here.
