    Haven't done much yet but once I get back from the grocery store, I'm going into production because I hate running low on ammo.

    Starting to get hot so I figure I should do some casting before it gets bad. Went out and cast up 100+ 300gr 454 bullets tonight. I would have done more but the 2 cavity mold is really slow. I really like the 6 cavity molds.

    Not today but a few days ago tested 5 loads for .30-30AI H&R with 155gr Amax and CFE223. Decided on a load, and will load a cache of 50 this weekend. I'll test the same charge with Speer 150gr FN in the Marlin 336.

    Now thats something you dont see every day
    Great cartridge, though. I find the history of the basic .30-30 case and how it's been modified into some really great cartridges fascinating. There was a time when I would have given a pretty penny for 1000 .30 American cases but, alas, my days of experimenting are behind me.

    IMO, one of the greatest ever derived from the 30-30 case was the 7-30 Waters. Loaded with superior 7mm Spitzer type bullets in a single shot rifle and it's a very accurate round for many game animals and targets.

    What little I've read about the .35x30-30 wildcat sounds great. Like a .35 Rem but you'll never run out of brass.
