.30 Newton (Cartridges of the World) Reloading Data Printable Version

Warning! Notes: General Comments - The 30 Newton is a rimless, magnum-type cartridge similar to the 30-06, but larger in diameter. Neither ammunition nor cases are readily available since it has been obsolete for more than 50 years. A limited quantity of new cases was manufactured right after World War II by Richard Speer. The 30 Newton is powerful enough for any North American big game. The 300 H&H Magnum and 300 Weatherby Magnum outperform it, although its performance can be improved by handloading with modern powders. (Cartridges of the World 10th Edition)

About 5 years ago there was a group of shooters that started out to reinvent reloading, the first thing they 'thought' they invented was lubing the case to prevent case head separation when fire forming, they lubed the case to prevent the case from locking onto the chamber body, I referred to them as 'slide and glide' shooters, we never became friends.

http://www.odcmp.org/1101/can.pdf

The mistake of lubing the case could have been an accident, even then it was not a good ideal.

Warning! Notes: THESE LOADS SHOULD NEVER BE FIRED IN OLD AND/OR UNSAFE FIREARMS; THEIR USE SHOULD BE RESTRICTED TO MODERN FIREARMS WITH SUITABLY STRONG ACTIONS IN GOOD CONDITION. Reduce starting loads by five percent and work upward being constantly vigilant for any indications of unsafe pressure. If any components are substituted for those listed in the tables, further charge reductions are mandatory. The same reductions apply if any increase or decrease in overall cartridge length is made.

.38-55 WCF (Loading the Old Ones) Reloading Data Printable Version

Warning! Notes: An old-timer with a well-deserved record for superb accuracy, especially in single-shot rifles, it also earned a fine reputation as a dependable deer and black bear cartridge in lever action repeaters. Factory loads are moderate in deference to the older, weaker rifles but strong single-shot rifles such as the Winchester High Wall, Stevens No. 44 1/2, Remington-Hepburn, rolling block and Bullard will handle higher pressure loads along with the Marlin Model 1893 and Winchester Model 1894 repeaters. Remember to use flat-nosed bullets in rifles with tubular magazines. Group I (see remarks) includes rifles with weaker actions such as Ballards and Stevens No. 44. Group II (see remarks) is for rifles with stronger actions. (Handloader Issue 142 "Loading the Old Ones" by Ken Waters)

Steve, I do not do loads, I do have 4 black powder types, two pistols, two rifles, somewhere out there could be smokeless powder for black powder types, I would use new powders approved for black powder pistols and rifles that burn cleaner and are not (as ?) corrosive and require as much cleaning, and I do not use reduced loads. Hodgdon has substitute powders for black powder that could smoke less, using smokeless powder in a black powder rifle or pistol, for me, is not an option.

Cody, A friend of his did th mount on that and it cost a whole $250. From th front it looks good but you can see stitching on th back- really no big deal. There also a small blem on th left side on th neck that is fairly noticable but it's small and it only cost $250!! so he's proud and I'm proud that at least one person knows how to hunt around here.
