i have a winchester m94(made in 1972) in 35/30. it used to be 30-30 but JES Reboring took care of that. i have a 200gr rcbs fn gc and 12ish lbs of 2400 and 3ish lbs of rel7 that i can shoot. i think that the 2400(with/without dacron) will be best at the velocity i choose(1700fps). i can take it up to 2000+fps(rel7) but the deer don't know the difference,but my shoulder will!!! i shot a buck and two does with my 444 marlin and 300gr fn gc with 24.0gr of 2400/dacron and it was going 1624fps.
the 35/30 is about the first wildcat cartridge. it will be slightly behind(velocity) the 35 remington. i'm told that 30-30 and 32 win spl that were "shot out", were rebored to 35/30 win(.358" ). mine is rebored to .359".
my m94 in 30-30 has killed many deer. but 20-25 years ago, i gave the m94 a retirement(safe queen). it was the first buck and first doe i killed. it was first reloaded round too. but i was basically bored of the 30-30, so i gave her my retirement. then all of the sudden, i was interested in wildcat/obsolete cartridges, like the 30-40 krag and the 9.3x57 and 20 vartarg and.... well i gots this 30-30 and JES can do a wildcat, so........i sent to him and in 3 weeks(1 week to get her, 1 week to rebore, 1 week to get her back) i got a 35/30 win. i have a couple hundred of 30-30 brass, but since this is a "new" cartridge, i ordered 250 pcs of starline 30-30 brass. i also got a 35/30 reloading dies that is CH4D. i have done a 100 pcs of brass and all that is left is to load them up. i am going to try 16.0 thru 20.0gr of 2400/dacron to see if it is safe(it should be, i've read that 23.0gr of 2400 is safe, but i don't believe it until i try it). i am going off of lyman's #49 reloading book in 35 remington.
well anyway, who has a 35/30?
