    Default Load data 30-30 FTX with IMR 4064 ?

    bought Hornady 160 grain Leverolution FTX bullets.I have on hand IMR 4064.Hornady suggests trimming cases shorter than the normal .010" under max SAAMI length.Anybody know how much shorter than the normal 2.029 the case should be trimmed to?Thanks in advance for any information.


    Loading FTX™ bullets requires some specialized techniques in certain
    cases. To achieve a high ballistic coefficient we had to lengthen the
    ogive, or nose, of the bullet. Sometimes this requires that the cartridge
    case to be trimmed shorter than the suggested .010" under SAAMI Max
    length that we recommend for conventional bullets. Follow prescribed
    trim lengths exactly as presented in the FTX™ data for optimum results.

    I would send IMR and hornady an email. Both should get back to you in a couple of days. Otherwise you could just get some IMR 4895 and have another power on hand to play with.
