I shot and chronoed my Dad's(my liberated) .30-30 today...AVG Velocity 2,633fps SD 6...accuracy good at 50 yds...
<br>
<br>Now here is the problem..I am using 150gr Hornady RN with a max charge according to the Lyman #47, of 39.0grs of H-335...Hodgdon lists 33.0grs as max...even with no extraction problems. primers that are still very round, etc...I am beating the Lyman manual velocities by 160fps and they used a 26" barreled universal receiver!!
<br>
<br>I have no visible indication of high pressure, but the higher than expected velocity kinda worried me..What do y'all think...have I got a fast barrel, tighter chamber, fast lot of powder????
<br>
<br>P.S. I only shot 50 yds because I am using a Williams peep site and this will be used as a walkaround rifle/deep woods gun..
