Topic: .30 Carbine ballisitics out of a 30-06?

[Bill, Idaho]

Any reason I couldn't load a 30-06 brass with the appropriate amount of powder to match .30 Carbine ballisitics, provided I use a 100 grain round nose (plated) bullet?
   I am versed in the phenomenon of underloading certain rounds creating detonations, but since .30 Carbine is a proven round, maybe other than the possible need to stuff a filler in the case, why not?

Simplisitically speaking, as long as the primer ignites the powder, it shouldn't make a difference in how big the case is (within reason). X number grains of H110 (in this case----get it?---case----never mind, I'd starve as a comedian) combined with a 100 grain bullet, should produce the same results whether the combination is contained in a carbine brass or a 30-06 brass, right? ( I do realize the longer barrel will, I mean should--increase muzzle velocity a little, but should still be well within pressures below what a 30-06 produces.)
  What say ye?  (My web-fu didn't help)

im positive you could. the hodgdon website has reduced 30-06 loads using trailboss and a 150gr. my experience using reduced 223 loads and trailboss have been positive.

i think trailboss would be the best powder for a reduced load in a case that big.

Give me your 30 cal X number grains of H110 and the 30-06 X number grains of H110 you plan to use and I'll run it through quickload and see what it says.
I'll need the bullet manufacture and weight also.

my dad did a load of trailboss over a 150 lead bullet using gas checks that was very mild.

Ill hit him up and see what it was exactly.

With a load that light in that big case you might want to tip them bullet side up before you load em in the rifle....

That's why tb is great. It's got a huge amount of bulk. It comes in the same size jars as most hodgdon powders but is only half a lb and it's full to the top. Only around 12$ a jar so if it doesn't work out your not out much cash.

Yep you don't want a detonation to ruin your day!
