I've just acquired a Winchester 94 Sporter, the one with then24 inch barrel and half hexagon. I've looked around and down here in Australia the best available powder for the cartridge is Varget. I'm starting fresh with Hornady brass, some CCI LR primers. So far I've worked up a load to 33 grains of Varget using the Hornady 160gn FTX bullet. There are no signs of pressure with this load, but I just thought I'd put it out there to see if anyone has experience using Varget in the 30/30. It may seem strange to some but in all my years of hunting and shooting this is the first lever gun I've ever owned. The plan is to get back to the basics of hunting.
