    Best 30 cal 150gn - modest velocity

    Gidday Folks

    Maybe some of you recall the "short single shot 330-30" thread. Well mine is now up and running, it's a TC Contender with a 17" long 1:8 twist barrel.

    I've worked up a load using Leverevolution powder and 150 Remmy corelocks, at 100M 3 shots well under an inch at a very snotty 2340 fps. That's fine for 99% of what this rifle would be expected to do 200M = stone dead if I do my part . . . But it's going to be a "pack rifle" for those trips where I'll be carrying a pack as it's now officially my lightest rifle at 3.1 kgs scoped and suppressed. As such it would be good if it could stretch to 300M shots when required.

    The corelock is a spire point bullet but a pretty blunt one, so by 300 it's only doing 1500 fps . . . Not much snot there!

    Has anyone got an idea of a 30 cal 150 gn that is both slippery and will reliably open at 1500-1600 fps?.
