Anyone out there play or have any success with LT 30 in their 6ppc?

Bart,
I have really good results with LT-32 in my 6BR. Not an answer to your question, but for score shooting I find it to be relatively insensitive (I load 29.39 grains for the heat and 29.41 grains for the cold). If I stop guessing and shoot a repeatable condition, I do very well (using your 68BTs). For group, I know you need a much higher standard of accuracy, but LT-32 might work for you.

Damn spell checker, meant to say 220 Beggs.One of our score shooters at Gallatin is shooting LT 30 with good results. He is always in the top three. Billy does his barrels, Bob Baker. I'm trying it in a 220 Better with mixed results so far. Rick
That's what I figured you were saying!Damn spell checker, meant to say 220 Beggs.
it seems like a dog chasin his tail with this powder ,temp,humidity thing ,,I shot a couple targets the other day with a compressed load of Benchmark that looked as good as anything I have shot,,a man could toast a bbl testing powders for sure,,
Dennis,Bart,
Could you explain the "bipolar" aspect of LT-32? What am I missing or failing to take into consideration? Like I said, I shoot score and don't have the same accuracy needs as group shooters, but I hate to give up an advantage if I don't have to!

Bart, I am shooting 27.6 gr of LT-30 with your 65gr. BT. Shot next to Bill Summers at the Cactus, and he said I don't know what your shooting but it sure is shooting well, I told him the load and he tried it next match he shot much better! No pressure signs or problems. I was also shooting a Tuner which helped keep the tune with very small movements twice during the day. I also shoot this same load in my rail gun in extreme heat last year at the sniper king match in Tacoma, likewise it shot pretty well but that barrel has a lot of rounds on it, so it was hard to say that the load was working. New barrel in lathe should be done tomorrow then I will test with same load again.
I am gonna shot a 65 class bullet next match with 28.6 LT32 and 205 primers,,I shot 4 targets last week over a whole day that the temps went from 62 at 9 to 86 at 5 and it shot pretty steady,,it was mostly sunny and maybe 40% humidity,
if you were shooting a UBR match with the first relay at 65 * and the second at 75 third at 80 then 4th through 8th at about 85-88 and maybe 60% humidity all day what changes would you make between those relays and with what powder??
IN MY OLD AGE THE ONE THING I HAVE FOUND TO BE TRUE,IS ( IF IT AINT BROKE DONT FIX IT.) JUST ENJOY AND MAKE TINY BUGGHOLES.I agree with Bart on this. I'm shooting the same load in my second 14-twist barrel that I shot in my first one. Same primer; bullet; powder charge; seating depth. The fact that EXACTLY the same load works in another barrel, even tho it's chambered the "same," blows my mind! I've been shooting this load for 2 or 3 years now; when I replace this barrel, I'll try another load workup, but will likely end up right where I am now. The beauty of sticking with one/two loads for a rifle is that a lot more time can be spent shooting for practice, and wind reading, instead of load work.

Laveritt is shooting lt30 in a ppc im pretty sure.
