Will try to start reloading for my model 14. It is a 30 rem. I have on hand 150gr. Hornady round nose 125 gr. sierra HP's and 130 gr. Speer flat nosed . Powder on hand are H335, 3031 IMR, 4350 IMR , 4895 IMR . Have remington brass and CCI, Remington and ww primers. Any loads that have been tried . Don't want to go hot just a good load. I have a 4x Leaupold on the rifle and plan to shoot max of 150 yards. I know that is a little far but I say max.

Re: reloading the 30 remington in a model 14
Hey 45 Colt!
I'll give it to you short, sweet, and if it sounds sarcastic.....I apologize.
1) Nothing but round nose ammunition will feed properly in this rifle and that
is an absolute!!
2) There are countless good loadings available in any number of manuals for
the 30-30 Winchester, the cartridges are identical except the Remington is
Rimless.
3) Stick with preferably 150gr (my preference) or 170gr bullets BUT whichever
you choose ...... REMEMBER ..... OACL is critical with ammunition for these
rifles!!!!! Find an old factory cartridge and use it to set your dies.
4) All manuals will give you a "factory duplication" load and I would go with
that ......... at least to start, remember you are working with the latest
in 1910 technology and to that end I prefer IMR powder loadings.
5) New .30 Remington brass is available from Buffalo Arms or Midway.
Hope this helps!
Kindest regards!
Jim

Re: reloading the 30 remington in a model 14
Nambujim is right.
You need to remember that the action in your rifle is very delicate and over loading any shells for that rifle will cause irreparable damage.
At the very least - it will cause the action to blow open when you fire the firearm - not a good thing.
You need to understand that there is a liability involved when you do not follow to the letter T - the minimum and maximum loads for that specific chambering and that most people will not give you their recipe for that load, due to liability issues.
The 30 Remington is not a hot rod cartridge, it is comparable to the 35 Remington and the 30 - 30 Winchester and should be reloaded as such.
I would suggest that you use CCI or Remington primers and 3031 powder and keep your loads under max by about 1/2 a grain or more to start.
The primers is the key ingredient - not the powder.

Guys!
I use 3031 & CCI primers as well.
If you want a nice soft shooting plinking round that you can shoot all day without any recoil, 15 grains of 5744.
See Ya!

Re: reloading the 30 remington in a model 14
Is it just me or does that seem like "the long way around" and a whole lot of extra work & expense. I guess we could argue the point but it is so easy to just buy the bullets, brass, primers, powder, & dies ............... then get a friend that has been reloading to assist you in getting started, there are actually courses for this if you are so inclined.
Basically reloading the .30 Remington is about as easy as it gets, why make it complicated? Just my opinion, everybody has different ways and ideas for getting the job done but I feel strongly that utilizing pulled bullets while attempting to transfer an unknown powder utilizing "Lee" dies is something to avoid.
