RE: .30-30 load
Max charges will vary from manual to manual. Gun powder will also vary from lot to lot, sounds like you are on the right track. As eldeguello says above, you can vary the load a bit to see what works best in your particular rifle. The point of magnum primers is to be sure large powder charges burn completely and uniformly. I only use magnum primers in magnums myself. You should be fine with what you are doing with the 30 30.
