I recently acquired a box of used Winchester commemorative ammunition from their Antlered Game 30-30. The box and nickle-plated brass were in good shape so I decided to give them at least one more pass through a rifle. After two hours in the tumbler, 20 Sierra bullets and a few minutes with my Lee hand-press and I've got another box of 170 grain cartridges ready for Godzilla, or any other monsters that may come my way.

I just used Sierra's data for the 170 grain bullet. Nothing exotic or hot. I'd like to have the cases last awhile.
