Low presure load for Win94 30/30

[Audet]

Hi there,

Just purchased an old Win94 30/30 and want to reload some low pressure rounds with 150gr and 170gr jacketed bullets. Just for target shooting up to 100M.

Thanks

Just for target shooting up to 100M.

That would pretty much the standard load off the shelf IMHO.

Often low pressure loads are achieved by using small quantities of very fast rifle powder or pistol powder in a rifle cartridge, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. I've been shooting heavy cast bullets in my .30/30, and a recipe I fell on by accident was to use Winchester 760. Winchester 760 has a burning rate that is far slower than would normally be chosen for the .30/30, and the result is mild pressure, and recoil. With a 195 gr cast bullet I was loading 30 grs of 760 with a magnum primer, and I don't see why a similar load of 760, wouldn't produce the results you seek, with light jacketed bullets.

Try some chicken balls!
7 gr. 700X with 110 gr. lead bullets. 1000 fps with no recoil and little noise.
Sure make plinking with the old 94' a lot of fun and cheap too.

Cheers
