As RR has stated, this cartridge in in the .30-30 class. However, think you're going to find performance issues if you attempt to load anything heavier than a 130-grain bullet. One, because your rifle's an autoloader and feeds from a magazine, you're going to have to seat heavier (and longer) bullets deeper in the case to maintain COAL. This will in turn reduce case volume and potentially require lighter charges.
