Leverevolution?

J2. · May 19, 2011, 06:35 AM

I recently purchased some of this powder. I hope to load my 30-30, spent factory brass and Sierra 170 FN bullets. I'm also using WLR primers. The rifle is used primarily on vermin and deer.
I am finding it difficult to find exact data for this combination. Being a novice reloader, I do not want to turn my model 94 into a propstick!
Cautiously, looking for advice, J2

Go to the Hodgdon site and use their Reloading Data Center.

It's got data for the Hodgdon LVR powder with the Sierra 170 FN bullet. Starting load is 33.0 grains.

Have you checked the powder manufacturers website? If the info is not there, try writing them and asking for the info.

I learned to never buy a powder and bullet with-out knowing what I am going to use them for and already have load-data available. (Learned the hard and $$$$ way.)

Try loaddata.com and see if they have any data you might be able to use.

Thanks guys, I checked the site and found what I need. And yes a good deal on powder, isn't so good if you can't use it!
