RV  I reload for Handi 30-30 But have not got work with to
 come up with any thing ti brag about. Used 2 or 3 bullets
 and about 5 powders. Still have not fired enough to
brake it in. As soon as I can do some thing good I'll let you know.

ive loaded the  the 3030 for many years , from 100 gr plinkers  to 180 grain spire point and everywhere inbetween ive found  for my son an i 150 grain speer bullets and either 3031 0r 4198 works great as for target loads , 100 110 gr bullets with about 10 grains of unique ive used red dot powder also underthe plinkers  , the 3030 is a very wide range  caliber for reloadingare yu wanting to get started or what?

I've been shooting Hornadys 150 SST over 33.5 grains of WC 846. The load is giving me 2360 fps. I have tried R-7, R-15 and IMR 3031 in the rifle but it shoots best with the WC 846 so far. I have some Nosler 180 Partitions I am going to try out sometime in the near future. I also have some Speer 165 Grand Slams, but I thik the bullet is too hard for the velocities of the 30-30. I have also read in several sources that the 180 Mag Tip is a reliably expanding bullet in the 30-30, but I'm not sure I would fill a tube magizine with cases so loaded, but that is one of the beauties of the single shot Handi  :grin:

The 125 and 150 grain Ballistic tips are hard to beat in the single shot 30-30. I like 3031 about the best for powder.
