I can find plety of data for a 14" barrel, but I am guessing that I can push these bullets a little faster with a slightly slower powder with the extra 2" barrel. Anybody work up a ny loads for the carbine?

I HAVE BEEN USING THE RELOADING BOOK FOR RL15 & IT WORKS VERY WELL IN A 21" BBL.. I USE CASES MADE FROM 375'S

I havent tried 375 brass, I'll bet it is stronger than 30-30.

I have a Super 16 in 7-30 that is my favorite barrel. I have loaded extensively for it and have discovered that IMR 3031 and AA 4064 give high velocity and excellent accuracy with the 130 grain Sierra.
