The shortest .30 cal bullet I have ever loaded in .30-30 !
93 Grain JSP pulled from some old .30 Luger ammo I had!
About the only shorter bullet might be .310 round balls. I have read about them being loaded in .30-30 with like 3.5 grains of Bullseye for total, no report yard plinking/varmint use.

Yep - they will send more flying!
I'll put a few on paper to see what they do. Like I mentioned I hope they are not some tackdriver load because if so I will have to do some research to find the bullets if I want to continue loading them.
.30 Luger ammo is still being sold so someone is making the bullets. Hornady has XTPs in 90 grain and I found a Mfg. of lead bullets who has 93 grain.
I'll probably check with a Mfg. of .30 Luger ammo and see where they are getting their 93 grain JSP.

For a range report?
If so that is going to be a while as the big snow decided to hit over the weekend and I have been dealing with it....
