Even old war horses like the .30-30 benefit from advances in propellents. The performance offered by B.B.s new load wasn't (safely) possible until fairly recent times. That's no critique of a proven cartridge/bullet combination. It's just some added icing on the cake. I could see a place for this load. It starts the 190 gr. bullet out at about what most factory loads push 170's. What's not to like (beside price-grin)?
Just remembered: Sam Fadala has written about pulling 190 gr. bullets from .303 Savage to load in his .30-30s "back in the day".
