Military loads for the 30 Carbine

[Calif-Steve]

I don't think primers make much difference for the Carbine loads noted here. I just use what ever I can find. It's tough out there for the reloader! Just seat them properly and good luck.

Didn't know that H110 and Win 296 were the same. That's solid info in these times when you can't always get what you neeed or want. I've been using 13-14 grains of IMR 4227 with casts and it works well. Also Rem and CCI SR primers. The load also works accurately in my Ruger 30 Carb revolver, but the muzzle blast would knock the ears off a stone horse. JC

Hi RD..Have you found a load using H-110 powder and magnum primers that is safe? I understand that magnum primers raise the chamber pressure but don't know how much. Thanks.

the .30 Carbine is a pistol cartridge so in a pinch you can use SP primers instead of the SR.

It is NOT a pistol round! It is designed to operate in the 40,000 psi range! It is a small tapered rifle round whose ancestry is one of the Winchester .30 slr rounds. Quit calling it a pistol round before you get somebody killed!
