This is my first attempt I also am using Fed 210 primers to start with. I have also heard that with this powder the Magnum primers work good is this true?
Many reloading manuals recommend magnum primers for any/all ball powders, and of course, WW748 is such a powder.
However, I have never used a magnum primer with any powder in cases smaller than 416 Rigby, and, IMO, a Fed. 210 will be all that you need in the .30/30 WCF.
A "maximum load" for that bullet and powder combination would be between 36 and 38 grains. I believe your charge of 33 grains would work just fine, if it is accurate. Avoid maximum charges in any reload you make until you know how to work up loads for individual, specific rifles. This is
BECAUSE ALL RIFLES ARE DIFFERENT FROM ONE ANOTHER, and so are the maximum loads you can use in each one!
