I just pick up a barrel for my Contender in 30 Herrett is anyone still shooting this round. What is a good load for a 125gr Nolser BT in this caliber

I used to have a 30 Herrett. Never had a load for the 125 Nosler but I will try to dig up what I do have. Probably I will send via e-mail as a text attachment.

Broad range in powder...H-4227 From 17.0 grains to 24.0 grains with CCI-200 primer

I had better luck with the 150 RN Hornady using 22.0 grains of W-680 and CCI-200 primers. (I know...can't find W-680 anymore...that tells you how long ago I loaded them!)

Steve did you hunt with the 150 grain bullet, or just punch paper and bang steel?
Hey, there are several dealers out there with the WC680 listed at a very reasonable price. My lot load-for-load is almost exactly like the AA1680 I replaced.
Buy a case with friends to avoid the coercion fee from UPS. Mix with WC 820 (H110 look-a-like) and 32 pounds of powder is pretty cheap!

That said, 30.4 grains of AA2200 gives me a bit over 2200 in my 14 inch barrel. 10" is likely to be 100 fps or so less. I have yet to find "the " powder for my 10" barrel.

Just an opinion of course

You have mail

Never hunted with it...punched paper, steel and soda cans...

I worked-up the load for a friend...and was thehappiest person in the world after he accepted the loads...
