Hi- I have an older lever action Winchester 30/30 I got when my dad passed away years ago. I reload pistol ammunition so thought I would get dies and load some 30/30 cartridges.
I am not familiar with load components for 30/30. I have been reading articles posted and it appears round nose bullets are required in the tubular designed magazine, 150 grain 30 cal. Is a pretty standard weight, powder I would take of the Hodgdon website such as IMR 3031, large rifle primers seem to be what's needed but there are many different varieties available. Any help with understanding primer options would be appreciate. Right now we seem to be entering another shortage of everything available so you have to adapt to what's available. there seems to be a few Winchester primers around. I was thinking Winchester 9 1/2 ? just not sure what others might work.
so, any advise from all of you would be appreciated. On all components and even procedure would be great.
thanks
