30-30 AI is a hoot!
« on: March 22, 2003, 11:33:37 AM »
I got my 30-30AI from the custom shop a couple weeks back.  24" bull ss with muzzle brake.  28 grains of 2230C behind 150 winchesters.  Lots of fun.  The brake really cuts down on the recoil!  I put over 80 rounds through it without being sore at all the next day.  Plus it was lots of fun to watch the brass go from 30-30 to the AI.  Got some 375 win brass prepped to fireform.  Only thing I didn't like was have to turn the necks and trim to length.  But it should be worth it.  That brass should last until I pass the gun onto my grandson.  I plan on shooting cast bullets only after fireforming.  BTW I am 29 and my son is only 17 months.  Dan  aka IronMonkey (one of the IHMSA bad monkeys) :twisted:

Did you get this in the Encore or Contender?

I know what you mean about the neck turning and trimming, but at least you don't need to crimp the bullets.

I still have my 30-30AI dies, but still haven't actually bought a barrel yet.  What velocities are you getting with 150gr bullets?
