I normally load a Hornady 100 gr sj over 12.0 gr of 2400 in my Ruger blackhawk .30 carbine pistol. A buddy gave me 300 Speer 110 gr jhp bullets. ANybody got any good loads for this bullet? I have 2400, WW296, AA #7 on hand, along with various shotshell powders. Let me know if you have a favorite.

TIA, Tom

My book calls for 11.2 grains of 2400 as a max load in the handgun(starting load 10.2) when I was shooting my carbine ,for me H110 worked well, to day I would use 296 . 14 grains low load and 15 grains top load. In the past I have shot thousands of rounds out of mine and it still shoots well.

good luck

I use the Speer # 1835 110 grain JHP bullets in a 30 Carbine Encore and AMT Automag III.

Because of the lower pressure limits of the AMT, I limit myself to 14.5 grains of W-296. Those Speer bullets are a perfect match for the pistol velocities of the 30 Carbine. They expand into perfect mushrooms!

I'm currenty on the road on a business trip. Please verify the load I listed with a loading manual before using!
