I’ve just started reloading 30-30 this year and have been working with light 30 cal. bullets powered by 23-25 grains of powder, for a semi gallery load type cartridge that’s a bit more plinking friendly, while easier on the shoulders.
What I’ve noticed, is that- with these light powder charges, I get a few cartridges that don’t fire.
To any of you who have experience with light loads:
Am I getting miss-fires because there isn’t a sufficient amount of the propellant close to the primer flash hole.... ? Is there a method or solution to allow for 100% ignition reliability?
I would appreciate any words of wisdom.
