I like the Saeco #305 weighing in at 200 grains no gas check.  Perhaps a little heavy for most folks.

The classic is the 31141 (311041) with gas check at about 170 grains.  There are MANY others.

The RCBS #30-150-FN was designed for the 30-30...

The Lyman #311291 and #311407 would be a couple to try..
