[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3089079, member: 15054"] The 30-30 is a slow round say when you use a 170 gr bullet and with that said many rifle powders work very well in it for cast. I have used IMR4064 H4350 and Varget for cast loads in 30-30. I have also used 2400 pistol powder. I found when shooting cast loads in my model 94 the brass neck thickness was crucial. Some necks would measure .004" thicker than others and this resulted in fliers in the group. Did not seem so crucial with jacketed loads. I ended up turning the necks all to the thinnest in the group which was .010" thick. Groups got way tighter and no more fliers. Try the powder and see if it likes it. I have some of that powder and the groups with it were not impressive and I was using the Hornady pointy bullets with it. BLC-2 was almost as fast and more accurate. Some have said 3031 was the most accurate for them. I used to load with 3031 and BLC-2.. then i had to try new type pouders and I should have never stopped using the old stand by that worked. Tail chasing :) [/QUOTE]
