Loading Bench: The Do-It-All .30-30 Winchester - Guns in the News

5.74K

Ok, so I'm really partial to lever guns chambered 30 cal. My biggest take away from this article is the Hornady FTX bullets. Although they've been around since 2005, I did some research, I hadn't paid any attention. Like any right thinking person I didn't want a disaster in the mag tube. Now I'm going to have to buy a box and try them. If I have to re-zero the scope, so be it. I'll make that move for a bullet that doesn't slow down and fall so fast.

The only rifle-caliber weapon I own is an AR-pistol.

SSgt Clare May I just bought a .45 ACP pistol (SIG P220) and started reloading for it, so it is going to be a while until I can afford another weapon.

SGT Steve McFarland Lol... I know the feeling... broke the bank for a 6.5 x 55 swiss, and a 450 bushmaster... plus the dies, plus the bullets... Thank goodness I had some IMR 3031 and 700x packed away and a few thousand large rifle/pistol primers.

SSgt Clare May I've spent over $3500 on reloading equipment and supplies in the past year. Bullets haven't been too pricey, but primers and powder are still hard to find and expensive.

SGT Steve McFarland - Lol... I probably got $3500 worth of different powders...lol...

Found some IMR3031 for $29.95 a pound...not the $12.95 it used to be...but in todays crapholashootout... its a bargain.
