I was curious if anybody knew the brand of powder that federal uses in their 30-30, 170 grain power shok bullets?
They shoot good in my winchester model 94 and since I'm about to reload that caliber I thought that would be a good starting point. I know the grain amount in their bullet is approx. 31.4 grain.
Unlikely Federal will tell you or it is not a commercially available powder.For years I 've loaded 170gr Hornady's with 32gr of Win 748taking untold numbers of deer and even moose.34.5gr of Win 748 /150gr bullet is also a good deer killer.......................Harold
The Federals shoot pretty well in both my model 94 and my sons 336 30/30 rifles. I like them better than the Winchester power points and the core lokts.
