I have been looking, but there doesn't seem to be much data around anymore for the 30-20. I am trying to find some loads for use with 168gr BTHP Sierras, Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Greg

If you spend a little time on this old but useful IHMSA web site there could be something useful to you. Being some what new my self I have found it very useful

Thanks, I did go through all the old data from that list. Worse problem I have at the moment is finding the powders that they were using. I ended up trying 9gr of Lil'gun, that worked ok, need to do some more tests, but they ones I shot all flew straight with no keyholes to at least 50 yards.

send me your email addy and I will send you some data.

I loaded for the 32-20 and used it for BB and FP using 150 gr bullets and w296, in contenders and BF's. I was able to get 14 gr of powder behind the bullet before it would not chamber. I also used it to take several deer over the course of a summer culling hunt. 165's took up to much room in the case, so I didn't use them much. the 150's never gave me a problem with even the hardest set rams. accuracy was excellent in all the guns/barrels i used it in. carroll pillant of sierra bullets send me the load data for it, I am sure if you contact him he will help you as well. good luck

try contacting carroll pilante from sierra bullets. he gave me loads for the 32-20 using 150 and 165 gr bullets. I went with the 150's as the 165's were a bit to long for the factory chambers in my contenders and bf's.

Thank you every one, I now have several leads to follow. I have a long throat in my pistol so I have been playing with 168s that I had left over from when I had a 308.
