Re: Has anyone used Buffalo Bore's Heavy 30-30 190 grain?
[quote="Sixgun"]I don't think there's too many guys here who can afford that ammo. It's got to be $50 a box. What Buffalo Bore did was what the old timers used to do in the old days......load the 190 gr. .303 Savage bullet into the 30-30 case. (I don't know the bullet Tim uses...it's obvio...

Re: Let's shoot the 300 Savage. Let's do lots of shooting...
Nice report as usual Earl.
I found out a long time ago that if a person likes to target shoot a lot, full power loads are hard on brass, guns, shoulder's and powder inventory .
I have had good luck with the RCBS 150 PB in 32-20 TC and 30-30 in the 12 to 1400 fps range.

I think with 4895 and 4227 you could find decent loads for everything you list.
I have standardized on the Rem. 7-1/2 for all the small rifle stuff, Hornet included.
For me Lil Gun would be for top end loads only and I rarely go there,
so it would be way down at the bottom of my list.
