30BR FF load

[M-61]

Anyone have a load for fire forming 30BR....110gr Carbine bullets....would like to use Accurate AA2015 or as 2nd choice 4198

I wouldn't waste my 4198 on fire forming.

Normally, I use 118 grain custom culls and my normal 4198 load.

This time, shortages of most items had me using, 110 grain Sierras and old mixed lots of 4198 and my standard load.

I'm saving the good stuff [16 pounds of one lot of 4198 and 1000 custom made bullets] only for matches.

I don't think the brass will know the difference.

Thanks for the replies.
I have no other use for the AA2015. Starting (or staying) with 32.0gr seems to be a safe load. ( gathered info from this site).
I do know 4198 is the powder of choice and since so little of a change will happen in the fire forming (opposed to 300H&H to 300 Weatherby) I might have started with the 4198 but because of these 110 Carbine bullets and no use for AA2015 I figured it is not really wasteful.

AA2015 is very slow compared to H4198. You cant use to much so use a drop tube and use at least 35 to 36 grains. Jam the bullets around 20 thousands into the lands.

On a side note when I fireform 30 BR brass I just reduce my match load of H4198 by two tenths of a grain and shoot a local match. I have done that twice and won both matches.

Make a friend! Sell it to a shooter who may be looking for some.
