Honestly it sounds like a good result but I am not entirely sure because the standard is number of hits in a 10" circle at 40 yards. I've never shot 30 yard patterns, nor have I counted hits in a 6 inch circle, so I don't have any frame of reference by which to judge your pattern results.
If you would shoot another shot at a laser or tape-measured 40 yards for comparison I could offer you an opinion. Draw a 10" diameter circle around the most dense section of the pattern then count the hits. Take a picture and post it here. Would be glad to offer my opinion, free and worth every penny!
