Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles UNIQUE for reduced .308 loads

I used 14 grains of Unique in an '06 with a 130 grain cast GC bullet, and it was death on rabbits and grouse. Bet it would worked on deer as well.

I recieved my 2 boxes of 110gr round nose jacketed bullets today.
I believe Ill star out with about 14grs of 2400 and move up from there. if it will shoot cans at 50yds I'll be happy

Take a Knee, I've been offline for almost a week (gone fishin') so forgive the tardy reply.

No, THE load is not suitable for the .30-30, as Ed Harris himself writes. The 13.0 RedDot load is for cases no smaller than the .300 Savage/. 308 Win.

In the .30-30, use 10.0 Unique.

Thanks Rocky, I was smart enough not to try it without more info. More importantly, did you catch anything?
