Reloading for a 30/30 Topper using BE
« on: August 09, 2007, 07:06:41 AM »
Have any of you ever reloaded using Bullseye and cast boolits for a 30/30 Topper?  Thanks in advance.

There are some better suited powders for the 30-30 lead bullet loads than Bullseye.  Its a tad too fast.

 If you dont already have it, I would recomend the most current printing of LYMAN 's reloading manual.

I second the Lyman 48th! You'll find some bullseye data on Greg Mushials low velocity site.

I have tried some Bullseye in my 30/30 Handi with mixed results , for the most part i stick with Unique for cast bullets in both rifle and handguns and have great luck .
