Seasons greetings,

So not sure why I am intrigued with shooting reduced cast bullet loads in 30-30 but I am and unfortunately don't know much about doing so. What I do know is that I have a 99 in 30-30, some 30-30 dies, a lot of lyman stamped lead ingots a pal gave me years ago and the itch. I have read occasional posts by Gary, for instance, who is into shooting cast. He makes it sound appealing enough for me to want to stick my toe into the water. I have cast round balls for my fowler and .54 flinters.

So is it possible to simply purchase some cast 30-30 bullets without getting into slugging the bore and loading them with something like 10 grains of unique? If so, what would be an educated guess or real life experience on diameter bullet please?

Anyway, thanks for any input and Merry Christmas,
Smiley
