Todd,

I do load for a 16" Win 94 Trapper in 30-30. I've never chronographed any of the loads. I'd like to some day though.

My best, most consistent, most accurate load for my Trapper is straight out of Winchesters data books.
Win LR Primer
34.5grs of Win 748
150gr bullet.

I've used every brand of case and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
And I've used all the top name bullets. Speer, Sierra, Hornady. This trapper has a bit of preference for the Speer bullet but does well with the others too.

Joe

I got 1900 fps with a 164 gr cast using IMR 4895 w/o trying too hard. I don't remember off the top of my head the charge. I'll have to look it up.
