30BR load data

[46490]

Need some 30BR load data and barrel length suggestions. Besides custom bullets what commercial bullets are being used?

Thanks
Tim

115 gr. Berger F B 34.7 gr. H-4198 Fed 205GM M primer. Almost as accurate as Bart's 112 F B with same load data. My barrel is 24 inch 1 -17 Tw. LEFT 5-shot gp. 100 yds. Berger 115 gr. F B
RIGHT 5-shot gp. 100 yds. Bart's 112 gr. F B

Great info. I am about to try a 30br and have some of those 115 Berger’s on the way.

Nice. They will shoot better close to the lands in my rifle .010 or closer.

Try some Speer TNT 125s if you can find some. I got a lot of suggestions from guys that shot them. They say they shoot great for a cheap bullet. I bought some to try but haven’t done it yet. I bought a 6.5x47 and fell in love.

I found a box of those and shot 1 5-shot group. Was in the 3 s I believe but have not revisited.

Any one try the 125 TNT at 300 yards if so how did they shoot

I use a 24” HV profile. My rifle shoots 10s and Xs with 34.2 gr of H4198 or N130, and 115 Bergers or 118 gr 7 ogive Bibs. It’s a .332 neck chamber.

Lots of good load info here.

Speer 125's work pretty decent if you sort them out. I wouldn't take them to a match but for plinking they work.

Very similar here, I am at 34.5 gr of H4198 with BIB 11i8s and 34.7 with his 112s, same powder. My rifle also has a. 332 neck.

Roughly 34.5-34.7 grains of H4198 has always done the trick for me with 112-118 grain bullets, which seems to be pretty common.
