120 gr cast for the 30-30 load data?
I was given a bunch of 120 GC cast bullets sized .310. I think the were for the 30 carbine since the are pointed. I wanted to load them up in the 30-30 to use as plinking rounds for my contender. Any load recommendations? My lyman book doesn't have 120 grain data and I'm not sure on using data for jacketed bullets. If not I may just melt them down. Thanks.
