If your looking for a recipe to reload those 150 gr. PSP. Just go to the IMR Powder Web site look up their 30-30 load listing. Use the application for the 150 gr. FP bullet with 4064 usage. Then you have to be concerned about COL so your cartridge functions thru the receiver correctly. Just make sure its bullet tip does not exceed the suggested measurement listed for a 150gr Flat point. I would suggest that you drop your powder charge down 2 grs. or so to start with. Then work up to its sweet spot. If your bullet has a cannelure line don't worry about it. If you make your cartridges up correctly you should be able to load one at a time into its tube and lever them up to the chamber or battery position.
