Reduced 30-06 loads
I know this has been discussed in the past but I need a few more answers that I can't seem to find in the past threads.
I have IMR3031 & AA5744 on hand and lots of 150 grain & 170 grain FP 30-30 bullets. I need load data to turn my 30-06 into a 30-30, ballistically speaking of course. I'm thinking 2000-2200 FPS.
I've seen some data on some of the posts and was wondering what your favorites might be using these powders.
Do you use a filler with the lighter powder charges??
Talk to me.

MADISONThe LEE Shooter program will give you most any down sized load you want. Also, I have heard that anything above 22 caliber can be dangerous to shoot. The only load I have iis 10 grains of Unique.

40 gr. of 3031 behind the 150gr.bullet should come very close to what you want.The question in my mind is ,;Will the pressure be high enough to get a good seal at the neck?
I know little about 5744. 22gr. of blue dot would be my choice.
Fillers not necessary.

I've read about the Ken Waters 30/30'06 load. Anyone got the receipt for that one? Filler??

Ken Waters 30-30/06 loads:
150gr 30-30 bullet with:
38.1 grains of N-200 Norma factory load.
40 grains of H-322
42 grains of IMR 3031
I have used the 3031 load. Works great.
Thanks, You da Man! I'll give it a try. What kind of velocities were you getting with it? How about accuracy?
