Out west, but not too far west
I’m loading Speer 150s from the Hodgdon’s
Manual with 223CFE 36.5 grains.

I looked at 130 grain Speer and the load for 223CFE is much lower?

But wait, the high load for the 150 in the Hodgdon manual is the starting load in the Speer manual.

Anyone loading CFE223 for the 30/30? With the Speer 130?

Any help is appreciated.

Rifle is a Win 94, deer out to 200 yards or so.
