    Loaded up a few this afternoon, it's going to take a lot of rounds to use 9oz of Trailboss!
    Made up 30-30s at 7.5, 7, 6.5, 6 and 5.5 grains of Trailboss, plus some at 8.5 and 9.5 (three of each, except only two at 9.5)
    For the 308 I did three each at 10, 9.5, 9, 8.5 and 8 grains.
    All using shooternz's 151gr cast bullets, and all crimped.
    I might not get subsonic at the lowest charge, but it's a start and if I do get subsonic I didn't want a whole lotta rounds with even lower charges.

    The higher loads in the 30-30 are because I decided some reduced recoil loads would be fun for my 14 year old nephew and stepson (two different kids, I didn't marry my sister you sick bastards!). So i want to have a subsonic load, and a max load using Trailboss. The 9.5gr load still has space left in the case.
    Sideshow and Micky Duck like this.
