What is a good powder for a Marlin 30/30? It will be shooting 150gr bullets.

Thanks

Thanks for the info guys!

The Win 748, who makes that powder? I don't believe I've ever seen a Win powder.

Actually Hodgdon is making the powder now. They bought it from Win a couple years ago...

Still marketed as Winchester though

IMR 4064 works pretty well too.
