Re: Question about Powder
Nope. Way to slow burning for the Carbine and also to slow for the 35 Rem.
What manuals do you have? |

Second, there are many good reloading manuals out there, and we all have at least one. Most of us have several. I strongly recomend the Hornady reloading manual as a start, then add to it by purchasing others. Never use reload data that you have heard about. Look it up in the book. It will make you a better reloader.

Re: Question about Powder
Another resource if you don't yet have any manuals.....and you should go get some.... is the Hodgdon website reloading database.

Re: Question about Powder
H4831SC is a heavy rifle powder, the .35 rem is a medium rifle cartridge, and the .30 carbine is a slight magnum handgun round (even though the weapon it is designed for is a small light carbine).
I recommend Hodgdons Varget for the .35 rem and Alliant 2400 for the .30 M1, most all manuals should list data for these 2 powders for these 2 cartridges...
