Let me take those dangerous projectiles off your hands! I need them for my new .308 build!

On a more serious note, I've loaded plenty of 30-30 bullets in .30-06, using the starting loads listed for the appropriate bullet weight and they work just fine. My old Speer No. 8 book even has some .308 loads listed using 30-30 bullets. Never shot a deer with one of these, but they're great at the range.

Sorta the same scenario. I just loaded up some Nosler 7mm waters bullets I picked up on clearance in my 7mm-08 with starting loads for a youngster to use this weekend during the Christmas hunt. Should be a nice light recoil round for the kid to use inside of 100 yards. My buddy and I are going to try and let him pop a nanny for Christmas!
