.....what is your favorite/pet load in the 30-30 using the lighter 130-grain bullets......I have a few/ I think one box of 130 hornady soft points and it is time to experiment with a coyote load....

Had great success with W748 with CCI250 primers and WW or Remington cases. Start out with with low charge weights and work up. If you have a chronograph you can match some of the velocities in the loading manuals. The Hogdgon manual #26 gives pressures for 130 grain bullets with several companies powders.

Remember though that not only is your rifle probably different than mine, your primers, powder, are all different in lot # than mine. So YMMV (your mileage may vary)

With a Speer 130gr fp I use Re-7 or H335.
For Varmints though I use a 110hp Sierra and H335.
