LeveReveloution powder

Post by mick_762 »

Anybody used it in the 30-30 as yet?

I currently use 2208 under a 130gn Speer. Will be interested in any results.

Can't help with the new fangled powder but have 34g of the 2208 behind the Woody 150g FN pill (COAL straight from the Lee data with the dies).

Hahaha how about you do all the development and get it sorted then I'll take the lazy route :lol: :lol: :lol:

This has got me a bit inspired to grab the 30/30 though, got a state forest to the North that shows promise but never delivered I might take it there to tempt fate :shock:

I think it will also be my choice for the next outing.

I challenge you Sir - to a 30-30 off.
We kill and the AusVarmint reprobates decide the win.

Rules:
1. Must be a deer.
2. Photo proof required.
3. Bonus points for Artistic appeal.
4. Sledging and corruption encouraged.
5. End date of 31 May 2017.
6. No subbing out.

How say you Sir?

Mmmmm I'm out of the equation for two weeks in May but I'll accept your challenge in the name of AV honour :hunting:

Kinda nice to have a reason to grab the "little" lever in the safe. If I do the math I need to pump 3 rounds out of the 30/30 to equal or exceed 1 round from the 45/70, better work that lever fast :lol:

Its not "really" sledging if its true. . I do actually have to request permission to use Erica's 30-30 :oops:

As afterall, the 30-30 is really a nice little girls gun.

Back on track to the LeveRevolution powder - pretty damn interesting results from Sundays range session.

Incredible velocity increase, and no pressure signs i could discern.

More details tonight when I get home. .
