Beemer Mark,

Can you give us (me) some more feedback about using the Lee sizer/Alox and 30/30 bullets? I assume the mold you use has lubricating grooves, do you just tumble lube the 30/30 bullets with Alox and load them?

What weight 30/30 cast lead bullet do you use?

Does it shoot to point of aim at 50 yards?

What 30/30 rifle do you use the cast lead bullets in?

I too recently got into bullet casting, I have had good results with the Lee .38 Special 158 grain LRN with tumble lube grooves, sized with the Lee sizer and tumble lubed with Alox. They shoot just as good as commercial bullets sized and lubed in the lubricating grooves.

I bought a Lyman Sizer/Lubricator to size and lube 45/70 bullets, as Lee doesn't offer a sizer in .457 diameter, but if 30/30 bullets work well with the Lee sizer and Alox, I'll try that first before buying a 30/30 sizer for the Lyman sizer.

I'll be using any 30/30 cast lead bulllets in two Winchester 30/30 rifles, a Pre-64 Model 94 and a 1980's vintage Ranger. So far, all the commercial cast lead bullets I've tried in both rifles have shot way low, with velocitys around 1700 FPS with a 170 grain bullet.
