« on: January 03, 2004, 07:12:45 AM »
Does anyone specifically load for combination guns.I've got one each in 30/30/12ga and 30-06/12ga.I'll be loading for the rifle barrel in each for deer,blaack bear and "etc."[whatever small game/fur]I encounter.
Any suggested loads?
Thanks.

........I haven't had any experience loading for a combo gun but did help a friend with a similar break open Handi Rifle type and all I found was that the gun didn't like hoter loads and his in 30/30 liked the 150 grain loads better than the 180......our little deer hardly need the good 150bullets and it worked out fine for that.......with the black bear I would look to a preminum 180 bullet or simialr for the 30-06....the 30-30 often can't get enough velocity to work with the same heavy construction bullet with safe loads that a 06 can.......I have good luck with IMR3031 and 4895 for his 30/30....and the 4895 does well in a lot of 06's.........I use Winchester or Federal large standard rifle primers in both........I can't offer any direct data for those combo guns and the only one I shot much was a rimfire/410 camp gun and the rifle barrel wasn't accurate.....good luck and good shooting!!
