Hornady FTX leverrevolution

[mightymite007]

Just purchased some hornady FTX in 30cal 160gr(30-30 win). Just wondering if anyone is reloading these and if there is any chance of using hogdon varget or H4350 powder in these loads? Online says hogdon LVR or IMR 8208 XBR coming out in 2011? There must be something out there already to load these bullets with?

Thanks for any help.

The Hornady website has a link to some load data in a .pdf format:

http:// www. hornady. com/assets/files/ftx_load_data/30-30_win_ftx.pdf


It lists 8 powders.

H4895; TAC;H335; RL-15; AA2520; IMR4895; WIN748; BL-C2

Cheers!

For the record, the hornady data is weak. Seat your bullets a little longer and you can do much better. Best accuracy I got out of IMR4895. H4895 is less temperature sensitive but I couldn't duplicate the factory ammo speeds without seeing pressure.
