What powder do you guys like using for the 30-30. I am gonna be using 150 grain Speers and Hornadys. Also do any of you have any loads for 165 grain bullets.

I like to use IMR3031 in my 30-30 it is a WIN 94.I don't have my load data with me right now,but it seems to be made for it.Good Luck

You might like to try acc2015. roger

H-335, BL-C2. and Win 748 are all good for the task!

H4895 for 150gr and up fodder.

Someone told me that if a 30-30 won't shoot well, H4350 will make it shoot accurately (but with lower muzzle velocity).

3031 works well. Easy to remember the load. 30gr for 170s, 31 for 150s.

30.5 grains of IMR-4895, 170 grain Nosler Partitions, and Federal 210 primers shoot very well in two family 30-30's.

Thanks Guys, I'll get busy with what powders I do have that was mentioned. The other loads will be put down in my notes.

IMR 4895 works great for me but I hate to waste good powder on a 30-30

A 30-30 lever gun can be more fun that should be allowed. 113 grain cast soup cans and a little bit of powder, a set of ghost ring sites and a sling. Or 3031 and a 150 gr core loc. my 2 cents. rc

4895

A wide variety of "medium" burning rate powders are well-adapted. I happen to use WC-846 (same spec as BL-C2 and WW-748) in mine simply because I've got plenty of it. It works fine, but no better than anything similar -- 4895, 4064, N-135, or a host of others.
