Thread: 30 30 reloads

Thanks

I don't think the 110 Sierras are tough enough for pigs they are a Varmint bullet and designed to fragment very quickly they may not penetrate far enough for a clean kill
using regular type powders will push them at too high a velocity for what you want, Powders like 700X, Red Dot, AS30, AS50 with a charge of around 7.0 grains
will be about 1200 -1400 fps,
I would be happy to send you some of my cast bullets to try, There is nothing tricky about loading them,
Cheers
