Need reloading data for 28-30 Stevens

[rockingkj]

Hi looking for additional reloading data for 28-30. Have some starting data using 120gr cast bullets and IMR 4227 but would like additional options. Anyone out there shooting this old cartridge? Thanks

QL shows a 28-30 120 Stevens. Data attached. I could not find a 120 cast bullet in the database, Closest I could find was a 118 grain Lyman LRN.

you made me look this one up I've never heard of it

Yeah in this current era of odd ball cartridges this one predates by a century the new varieties lol. One can't help but wonder in 50 years (if we still have guns) there won't be some one looking for data for the 6.5 super foowangker.

Thanks, was there any data for 130-135gr cast bullets? Appreciate the info you provided.

I'm feeling a bit like a dinosaur in reloading. old school look it up in a book. Had to google where you got the data you provided. Looks like an amazing tool.

It is indeed a valuable tool if you shoot obscure or improved cartridges or bullets from manufacturers with no published data.
