Don't overlook cast bullets
If you enjoy shooting your 30-30 and want to spend time at the range without spending a fortune, start loading cast bullets. You can buy 165 gr FN bullets already cast and lubed for $35 a 1000, and if you load them with light loads of Unique powder you can squeeze about a thousand rounds out of a pound of powder.
Naturally they wont be much good for shooting anything bigger then a squirrel, but if all you want to do is punch paper, they're great. No recoil, very little noise and you can afford to shoot a 100 a week like I do. Just remember to change your sights back if you decide to shoot anything hot in the rifle or you will be shooting a foot high.
