Hi all.
Any one try the  Hornady 150 SST bullets and have any good loads to share
for 30-30 and 300 win mag.
both are 26" Encore barrels that I will be loading.
to name a few powders I have on hand that would work for the 30-30 are.
Win 748
AA 2015, 2520
H 380, 335
Reloader7
Imr 3031, 4064, 4350

for the 300 win mag some powders I have that should work are.
Imr 4350, 4831, 7828
AA 3100
Reloader 19
If anyone has a great  load with a powder I have not listed please still share it,I have no problem
buying another can to add to the mix.
I also plan to get some 130 SST bullets for 270 Winchester To try soon also an Encore barrel,If anyone has
loaded these and has loads please share also.
As far as cases for both I have Rem,Win,Fed

I think your question answers itself, no way can one bullet be right for both the 30/30 and .300 Win Mag, even assuming it to be good for one or the other.
The story of David & Goliath only demonstrates the superiority of ballistic projectiles over hand weapons, poor old Goliath never had a chance.

Well Coyotejoe Most all agree the 150 in a 300 mag does more meat damage than a 180 gr bullet.
My plan was to load these in the 3030 for deer if they work out and load them in the 300 mag and
make grease spots out of woodchucks.

I would add Reloader 15 to your .30/30 list of powders.  I thought that Re7 was used mainly for the lighter (130 and below) .30/30 rounds.

A lot depend on what yoiu are hunting, SST's are not good for big game like elk and they do not like extremely high velocities. An Interbond bullet would be better for big game.
