Two thumbs up for berry’s

[rachunter]

I’ve been shooting the berry’s bullets in my 357 magnum revolver with good results,so I ordered some for my dirtythirty and loaded them up with a few different powder’s I have the first group is imr 4320 the second group is varget the third is imr 3031 the fourth is red dot way to hot of a load. All where supposed to be around the 2000fps mark but I didn’t check with the chronograph yet. I was shooting hardcast bullets with horrible results. I think is the micro groves in my marlin the gave me shotgun patterns,key holing and leading. Problem solved with berry’s bullets. If your looking for some plinking bullets check them out.

I dig one out of my sand trap. I might back off the crimp a little.

Sheared off the extractor with the second shot of red dot. Prime was flattered case stuck in chamber.

Berry’s bullets are great for the price. I would not be using red dot for a 30-30. Very fast pistol/shotgun powder. You must have had too much powder to have those pressure signs, doesn’t take much with that fast powder

I would not use Red dot in a 30-30 that powder is made for shotguns and handguns.

I did see some load data for cast bullets of 6gr’s of red dot but I still wouldn’t use it.

I am also on the Berry's bandwagon, I have only experience with straight wall handgun bullets, they have very good accuracy, waaay cleaner than swaged or lubed cast lead and they are priced reasonable.

Ya it was 8gr. of red dot. I was using it with hard cast lead bullets.
