Does anyone have the newest Hornady manual?
I've got some 160 FTX,30 caliper,for the 30-30 and i have no info on loading them!
Would anybody be able to e-mail me a copy of the pages for this 30-30 loads?
All my info is from an older manual.
I did get loads from the Hogdon site but some of their loads seem alittle hot?

From 8th Edition:

160 grain FTX bullet

H 4895 26.8 - 28.9gr 2,100 fps
TAC 26.4 - 29.7gr 2,100 fps
H 335 27.1 - 29.2gr 2,050 fps
RL 15 28.2 - 29.8gr 2,050 fps
A 2520 27.9 - 31.7gr 2,100 fps
IMR 4895 28.2 - 29.8gr 2,000 fps
8208 XBR 28.1 - 30.6gr 2,100 fps
W 748 29.4 - 31.5gr 2,050 fps
BL-C2 30.8 - 33.3gr 2,050 fps
Leverevolution 27.7 - 37.0gr 2,300 fps

Notes: I copied directly from the book. Although I checked this table twice typo errors are always possible. If you ask, I will recheck a load.

The starting loads all have an estimated velocity of 1,900 fps. The velocity listed after each powder above was the max.

The test rifle was a Win 94 with a 20" barrel

The primer was a Fed 210

Thank you. This gives me an idea of where to start?

I have manuals from Hornady, Speer, Lyman and a couple others dating back to about 1965. Its funny how the maximum charges get reduced in almost every manual (using the same components). I guess its because of all the lawsuits from uncareful loaders.

Has anyone ever called one of these companies and ask them why????? I may try to.

Here's a good read, mm: http://www.chuckhawks.com/pressure_measurement.htm .
