Enforcer for M1 Carbine?

[Sport45]

Does anyone have data for Ramshot Enforcer in .30 Carbine with 110gr bullets? My Ramshot pamphlet doesn't show data for this cartridge. I hope this is an appropriate powder and not too fast. If it won't work, I'll have to add H110 or W296 to my inventory.

I've sent an inquiry to Ramshot, but haven't received a response. (But it's only been one day since my inquiry.)

Sorry, can't help with your Enforcer. But if you find you need another powder, might I suggest Alliant 2400?

H110/W296 is a very good powder for this round and will likely give top velocities... but may require a magnum primer. If you are like me, magnum primers aren't welcome at my bench. 2400 works very, very well in the .30 Carb, and no need for magnum primers.

I have not used enforcer, but h110 is my standard powder for the 30 carbine. I thought the original name was for Hodgdons 110 grn powder, hence H110 for 30 carbine. It might give you a hint what you should be using.

I have used H110 with various brands of non-magnum primers and they all worked fine.

Enforcer = AA#9 = H108 = WC820

Thanks guys. I can't find data for AA#9 either except for a range mentioned online at Steve's Reloading Pages. Looks like I'll be adding H110 or W296 to my inventory. A small rifle primer should light it off okay.

Hornady's 7th shows a start load for AA #9 @ 10.7 and a max load @ 12.1 for 30 carbine w/ 110 grain RN.

Sorry about resurrecting an old thread, but I ran across it in a search and thought I'd go ahead and update it while I'm here.

I emailed Western about load data for .30 Carbine with Enforcer and here's their reply:
