Hello all been a while between posts. What are people using for reloading powder for the old 310 given that no powders are currently available. Im a little tired of buying boxes of ammo for 70 a box.

A lot of people have changed to 2207 with good results, a few are breaking open cheap shotshells and a few are paying drug money for the odd bottle of pistol powder.

A mate of mine in the same rifle club has been loading 10.5g with a 122g bullet, another bloke we know is using the same with a 128g HRBC heeled bullet.

I'm lucky enough to have a small stash of blue dot and 2205 that is keeping me going for now.
No data for 2207 sorry, but would be concerned with unburned powder.

Why is unburned powder a concern?

Unburned powder causing fouling issues and inefficient. The fouling is an assumption, inefficient is a given, you might not, probably wont get the velocity you're chasing.
But if you have nothing else, it's not like we're shooting 1000yard with the Cadet.
But breaking down some 12ga loads will likely give you 750 reloads for under $150. Just an alternative.

The August edition of Australian Shooter has an article about loading 310 cadet with AR2207. I am going to try it out early next week.

These guys make a nice 120gn heeled bullet for the 310 https://boynebulletco.com.au/
They're worth a try.
