Load data for caliber ".30 Super Fl. H&H"
The 30 Super Fl. H&H is a rimmed centerfire rifle cartridge developed by British firearms manufacturer Holland & Holland in 1921 for their Royal Double Rifle and other rifles based on the popular 8x57mm Mauser round.Originally designed as a big game hunting round, the 30 Super Fl. H&H has earned its reputation as one of the most accurate and powerful cartridges available due to its flat trajectory and high velocity making it ideal for taking clean shots at medium-sized game animals such as deer or wild boar without having to worry about drop off or over penetration beyond the target area. The smokeless powder used in loading this cartridge also allows for significantly lower pressures which makes it suitable for use in older or weaker actions such as those found in drillings and combination guns.
Ammunition for the 30 Super Fl. H&H can sometimes be hard to come by but there are several suppliers that offer various options in different weights ranging from 130 to 160 grains depending on your application. These are usually loaded with soft point or hollow point bullets which make them particularly suitable for hunting applications where maximum expansion upon impact is desired to ensure cleaner kills with minimal suffering inflicted on the animal being shot at.

C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'épreuve des armes à feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" – commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
