I am new to reloading and I got my reloader kit and my bullets today. I de-primed them all and re-sized them. Then I was just looking at the bullets that came because everything else is on back order. I figured I would waste a bullet and practice putting one in a brass case with nothing else in it. Well to make a short story long It didn't work to well so I looked at my box of bullets and it says Hornady FTX 30 cal. .308" but in small print on the back it says (30-30).

So my question is will the Hornady FTX 30 cal. .308" bullets work for my 30-06?

sorry I rambled but anyone's help would be appreciated.
