Savage model 340

1
I sold my Savage 340 .30-30 a couple years ago. I got it cheap and traded it away primarily because a friend with limited resources was looking for a kid friendly rifle that could take down a whitetail, and I'm a kind-hearted old goat :laugh:

I still have a .222 Remington in that model, and tomorrow or next Friday depending on how much a pending repair bill comes to, I'm going to add another .30-30 to the stable. I'm not really sure why I like this ugly duckling rifle, maybe I just sympathize with something old, unattractive, and odd.

At any rate, I had planned on reloading some spire point bullets for my previous rifle, but never got around to doing it. I would like to actually try them this time, and since I just repaired a broken Model 219 Savage that I spent $50 on; I have double the incentive to try them. I mean the worst case scenario is that I waste bullets, powder, and primers while playing at the range.

It also sounds like an interesting idea. Did you cast your own? Do you know what mold they came from?
Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I cast my own, I have a mold from Accurate molds that drops a 170 gr bullet based on a tried and true Lyman mold. Works great in my 06 also.
