Does anyone know where i can get load data, or have a load using the 160g hornady ftx and imr powders. It is for a 30-30. My hornady manuel does not have these bullets in it, and i want to try them out and see how they do.

Hodgdon's website shows 1 load.

IMR 8208 XBR
2.540" C.O.L.
starting load 27 grs.--2045 ft/sec--33900 CUP
max load 30 grs.--2207 ft/sec--37000 CUP

Hornady's website shows a few loads as well here's the link:

Lets see if this will transfere;

Nope, image was not transferable.

Here's the link to Hornady's data from their website.

http://www.hornady.com/assets/files/...30_win_ftx.pdf

Or try this one;

http://www.hornady.com/support/downloads/load-data

Tha't the main page for the FTX loading data.

It appears the 160 30 cal. FTX is brand new. It should be a great compromise between 150 grain and 170's.

go to the hornady website. there is a section on the right hand side that says ftx load notes. there are not only load specs, but notes telling you to shorten the brass etc.
