I am one of the those rare shooters of a .30-30 bolt action rifle. I have an older Savage model 340 bolt action (detachable magazine) that I have had since I was a kid. It is still my favorite gun for California hunting under 200 yards.
I have the Lyman 49th edition, Speer #14, and the most recent Nosler and Hornady load books. They all say you can use a spitzer style bullet in a magazine fed .30-30. Speer recommends that spitzer bullets loaded in a .30-30 should stay under 150 grains. I thought a spitzer style hunting bullet would increase accuracy as the ballistic coefficeint (BC) is soo much higher on the spitzer style bullets.
Have any of the fellow THR members loaded a spitzer style bullet into a .30-30 before? I can not find any load data for a spitzer. ALL data is for round or flat nose bullets. Any good hunting spitzer recommendations are greatly appreciated.
Do any of you memeber have a good recipe or am I in left field looking for something that is not obtainable.?
Thank you for any input in advance.
