30-30 Reloading
I am looking for a 30-30 load for my new england single shot. I want to use Nosler 125 BT in it. Everything I find is for round nose and flat point bullets for a lever action. Does anyone have a good load that will work?

I'm using 35.0 grs H335 under a 125 HP Speer TNT in a single shot. It is a MAX load. Start low, like around 33.0 grs, and work up.

Nosler lists their 30-30/125's as pistol loads (Contender I assume).... you should do a little better than advertised with your longer barrel.

Try 34.0 of WW748 and the Hornady 130 grain spirepoint made for regular 30 caliber rifles. Works for me.
