.35/30

Has anyone ever tried this round w/ BP?

Might be an interesting & economical cartridge as it is a Rimmed BN: .30-30 WCF expanded to .35 caliber.

I remember someone trying this years ago--I think with the .35 Remington.  Sorry, but I don't remember the specifics. It did go bang and the bullet did come out of the right end of the rifle. I recall that velocities were somewhat lower but accuracy was about the same as the smokeless load. I don't believe that a lot of development was done at the time; this was all of forty years ago.

.35/30 has been around since 'bout 1900.

Am looking at a possibe 200 yd & 40 rod paper target rifle made up on a Browning .30-30 M1885 Traditional Hunter.

Just want something a bit different.  Components should be easy to come by as .30 WCF brass is affordable & readily available, .35 moulds are stock items, & CH has dies for $69.00.
