30BR fire forming

Anyone have a load for using 110gr Carbine bullets to fire form 30 BR? I have a bunch (new not pulled) and no carbine so I thought there might be a load someone has used that they could pass on.Thanks
 
When fireforming, I use the same load I use when shooting. Most of the time I can't tell the difference on target at 100 yrd. Don't know if those 110 carbine (half jacket lead exposed) will hold together at 3000 fps. Suppose you could back off the load a few grains.

They are FMJ Thanks
 
Here are the Sierra load table which include the 110 FMJ. Unfortunately it doesn't include H4198. Maybe it will help. Tim

I fire formed 80 30BR cases today using 34gr of H4198 pushing sierra 110gr HP bullets. Worked fine.
