I fell upon a Sub-X podcast surfing the net a while ago. Looks like an interesting product, all the R&D has been done already and there’s projectiles available for handloading too.

From memory on my Hornady podcast they suggested the 308 use the 190G , but not sure I’ve only got a 30-30. I won’t be using them in the 30-06.
I can’t wait to see what the 336 shoots like as a .22 on steroids.
A 30 cal running at 1080fps would you need hearing protection?

I don't use hearing protection with full-noise .30-30 so it'll be your own preference. It is louder than .22LR as you're using eight or ten times more powder, you just don't have the painful sonic crack.

So for the 30-30 do use trailboss?

I’ve always used max capacity powders in all my firearm reloads, but read somewhere years ago that if using faster burning lower case % powders to blend with a filler to prevent secondary ignition.
So Trailboss is still short supply?
