I do not have proper dies just yet but I got some working ammo. Still learning things.

My 210 gr. lead SWC ammo and 10 grs. of TrailBoss garnered an average of 1160 fps from the 14" G2. It was accurate and very pleasant to shoot, low blast, and recoil. Power was commendable with it full equal to a good 10mm auto or mid-range .41 Magnum police load.

I only had one 325 gr. round and thought it was also 10.0 gr. TB. Oddly it ran only 875 fps. I'll have to revisit that. I'm not sure what bullet diameter is best for this and will find out before ordering a special bullet sizing die. Most of my .30-30 brass is 0.011-0.012 thick at the neck, same as the round provided with the barrel. I have Win., Rem, F.C. I need to get the dies and do more serious testing.

- A revisit of the whole story... - WB, 2020-01-05, 12:25
- I used 30-30 brass I picked up at the range - Sean Harper, 2020-01-04, 20:35
  - Yeah I'm sure it will. Cast bullets did you - WB, 2020-01-04, 21:14
    - .401”, accuracy with 255,285 gr cast was very good - Sean Harper, 2020-01-05, 08:42
      - I hae a 10mm 230 and a 270 .41 - WB, 2020-01-05, 12:17
- In that case, Starline 38-55 Brass will cure the other issue - Huey, 2020-01-04, 18:44
  - when I order dies I give them all the measurements - gary reeder, 2020-01-04, 20:14
