For plinking with a 30-30 here is a good load,and cheaper to shoot. Use a Speer 100gr,half jacketed bullet. (plinkers) Using 4759 powder> 20.5 gr-23.5grs,will give you between 2210-2500fps>>4198 powder from27grs to32grs=2200fpsto2675fps...2400powder 21grs to 26.5=2180fpsto2595fps...next. 4895 33.5grs to 38.5gs=2200fpsto2610fps............For a GOOD hunting load use sierra 130gr. F.N. bullets with 37grs of BL-C powder== 2610fps vel. hope i helped some. vangunsmith
