Okay, let me start this by stating in am NOT a new loader, but I am looking to short-cut my regular "try a dozen different combos" approach to finding a pet load for a new rifle.
What I want to do is replicate factory 150gr .30-30 Winchester loads as closely as possible for my new Marlin 336BL. The suitable powders I have on hand are Varget, H4895, RL-15, RL-7 and Win 748. (Think ONE of these should work? ) The bullets I have selected for now are the 150gr Sierra Prohunter FPs. I already plan on doing these over a chronograph with factory loads as a control.
Short cut, looking at load data, ALL of these powders will replicate or come close to matching factory loads. So what are some of the board's favorites?
Thanks all!
