30-30 loads

[TargetAcquired]

(designed for the M1 Carbine and single loaded directly into the chamber and not through the magazine)

Load sounds good, but this part takes all the fun out of shooting a '94.

I apply a moderate crimp with Berry's using a lee factory crimp die.

Yes! exactly & it works like a dream!

There is only one option that I personally know of. That is the 110 grain Speer Varminter hollow point. It has a blunt nose and it looks like a bullet one would see loaded into revolver ammunition. Can feed through the tubular magazine safely. However one has to experiment with this bullet seating depth as the bullet ogive could interfere with chambering.

As I'm fairly new to reloading, I think I will give myself time to gain a bunch of real-world experience before I try experimenting beyond slight differences in powder charges. I don't remember if I was shooting or walking first, but I'll be quick to say I'm new to reloading.

That said, I've put this info into my own reloading data (journal, diary, whatever) for future reference.
