Specific good loads in a few of my 91-30 Russian rifles.haven't had good luck with the M38's or M44's
GC loads-
Lyman 314299 16g AL 2400, RP 9-1/2 1485 fps SD's 10.5-18.5
Lyman 314299 13g Unique, Fed LP , 1415 fps SD's, 9.5-13.5
Lee 155g Harris 14.0 TrailBoss,Fed LP, 1435 fps SD's 3.5 to 10.5
Ideal 245g 323378 ( sized to .314) 16.0, AL2400, Fed LP 1320 fps Sd's 10-18
Plain Base loads-
Lee 155g Harris(no GC) 11.0 TrailBoss, Fed LP,1250 fps SD's 7.0 to 15.5
Lyman 311008 4.5g Bullseye, Fed LP, 1115 fps Sd's 12-20 (50 yd load)
ModernBond (.312 dia) 190g Pointed PB 6.5 BE, Win LP, 1130 fps Sd's 9.5-15.5
MountainMolds (.312 dia) 228g FP PB 12.0 TrailBoss,WinLP,1174fps Sd's 6.5-10.5
The above GC loads will shoot many 1.2"-1.75” 5 shot groups at 100 in scoped rifles(add a bit for issue sights).(Plain base add about 1/2")Sometimes you can get 10 shot groups under 1.5” at 100 and a few 3/4" 5 shot groups,but not often enough to do it on demand.
pic is of the NEI 72 (NEI's Harris Bullet) with T-Boss one 5 and one 10 shot group at 100 yards with 6x scoped 91-30.
