I use a lead/tin bullets for my 30 Cal stuff. You have to lube/swagg and gas check them. they make a press that does all three at once. be sure to use once fired brass (see note)and you only need to neck size them. load them up like you would any other cartridge.

When you put the 12 grns of pistol powder(Unique) TRIPLE check the powder level in the case,
its easy to double charge those big rifle cases. in my Rem700 they shoot 3/4 inch at 100 and very little noise or recoil. the other benefit is your cases will last a good long time, especially the modern cases ie 308 30-06 7.92Mauser etc. the cowboy cartridges ie 30-30 have a much thinner wall and will split sooner.


note: a light load won't expand enough or fast enough to seal the chamber and affects accuracy and just blows extra fouling into your rifle.
