Reloading Noobie

t3hfr33z3 · December 15, 2008, 11:36 AM

My goal is to start reloading for my marlin 30-30 model 336w. I have 120 empty brass and a lee hand loader. I will eventually branch into buying a lot more equipment but figured the hand loader will let me get my hands dirty.

My questions

1. What is the "Ole standby" powder for 30-30. (I was planning on using 150GR ammo just for plinking)

2. I can't really find anything on primers. I think I'm supposed to get Large Rifle primers. (everywhere I've looked winchester primers are sold out)

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Do you have any reloading manuals?

If not, I highly suggest you get one before you do anything.

Check there, that may help you with what powder and what velocity your looking for. I don't know, I only reload for 30/06.
