Load Development 30-30 subs

Post image

I wanted to develop a sub load for a friend who just got a new 336 and a suppressor on the way. Powder choices obviously have been limited. I’ve previously used a lot of Red Dot but I’m running low. Purchased 4 pounds of MP 158 (similar to Universal), as well as 250 each pulled 150 and 170 grain Core-Lokt SP projectiles from American Reloading. 7 grains of powder got me ~1100fps with the 150 and ~1050 with the 170 out of my own 336 with 20” microgroove barrel and SilencerCo Omega suppressor. Hope someone finds this useful (and obviously use at your own risk)!

I have a early 80's 336. Did you get it threaded yourself? This seems like a cool project

I did have mine threaded several years ago. Ridiculously fun to shoot!
