More testing with the RD bullet in two different 30-30's
This bullet has done well in my Savage 340 bolt gun with 29gr of H4895
ACWW + 2% foundry type sized to .311' and lubed with Lar's 2500+ and a coat of BLL these will shoot 10 rounds under inch and a half at 50 yards with receiver sights.
Same alloy but I'm going to try 28gr of IMR3031 for my Dad's Win '94 lever gun.
It wears a cheap set of Williams receiver sights. Mix brass, CCI primer.
I'm excited to get a load worked out for dad's '94
I have not shot this but maybe twice since he passed. It's a great little brush gun for around here.
This five cavity NOE makes a pile of bullets in short order. I did anneal all the brass before I FL sized.
I am not that familiar with the Win '94. Man! They are way more slim and trim than my Marlins are!
Dad's was nothing special. Looks to be a Sears and Robuck special possibly. The receiver looks more brown than blue. No matter. It was his and now it's mine. The bore looks super shinny with good rifling. I'm pretty sure I can get her to shoot cast. I'll post a few pics.
