I've reloaded a lot of 300bo, he's not wrong about the bullet selection. It's about the same as 357 magnum, the same amount of the same powders pushing similar bullet weights. My gun's sweet spot is 15 grains of h110 behind a 150 grain bullet gets me ~1500fps, the case mouth hits the brass deflector and gets a little flat spot on every single case mouth, and the brass all lands in a 2 foot circle 3 feet away at 4 o'clock. Tidiest gun I've ever shot. Round nose soft points jam it up though, the soft lead catches on the feed ramps, so most 30-30 bullets are out. Found that out with pic related.
