Odd bullet to gun combination

[ditchtiger]

Not going to give load info, but one load I came into is .32 pistol slugs into 7.62x54r cases.
The hollow points are great pumpkin exploders. Another is 30 carbine slugs in .308 Win cases. A great plinker. Others are round ball slugs for light pistol loads.

The 32 pistol slugs should work in anything 30 cal--even though they are actually a bit oversize.
Speer makes a half jacket .308 100 gr plinker bullet--I've used a bunch of them for light loads
in 30-30 and 30-06. I've even heard of single buckshot in 30-06, but never tried it.

I've heard of using .22 airgun pellets in .22 centerfire.. primer only. I assume no responsibility for this though!

I have been working up a 30M1 load using a 125gr Sierra FPHP which is a 30-30 bullet. Working with less then a max load for the 110 gr slugs I have been getting excellent velocity and accuracy in both my carbine and especially my Ruger Blackhawk in 30 carbine.

Their is a tiny bot of info on line about this combo but as its not in an manual and lawyer approved follow my lead at your own risk.

You should see what happens when you run some .357 Mag slugs out of a .35 Whelen.
Water jugs act like they were hit with a nuke. All the frontal area of 158gr HP with a flat meplat colliding at 3000+ FPS makes things REALLY exciting.
