Favorite hunting powder (30 cal)

[Budzilla 19]

AA 2460 in 30/30 Win., then H-414 for jacketed bullets in 30/06. For cast boolits in '06, I use H4831. Works for me.

[taco650]

For the 30-06 & J-words, I've had good success with IMR 4831 & IMR 4320 (4831 for heavies, 4320 with 150 gr).

Jury is still out on 30-30 as I don't shoot it much because it was made in 1928 (M94 Winchester).

[Digital Dan]

Tilt in the general direction of Rx15(jacketed)/H335(cast) for the .30-30. Just a preference on my part which may change tomorrow, or the next day.

Dunno about the -06, never owned one.

[oldblinddog]

RL17 is my new favorite in the .30-06.
IMR4064 in .308.
I don't have a .30-30.

H4895 in .308 for a sub 3/4" group @200yds is that close enuff?

It put a bunch of deer in the freezer as well..

[Texas by God]

IMR 4064 in the 30-06, R15 in the .300 Savage, IMR 3031 in the 30-30. And if I may, Win 296 in the .300 Blackout. These are all for jacketed except the 30-30 includes cast bullets. Best, Thomas.

What is your load? /fps?

[upr45]

Do not have a 30-30, do load for 3 30-06's, all 3 are (semi)autoloaders, all 3 really like H414 with jacketed 180 gr's.

[MT Gianni]

820 for plinking in the 30-30 [1550] fps, RL7 for hunting, 4350 for jacketed in the 06 based cases. 4064 for 308 J words, 2400 for cast 308 & 30-06.

[toallmy]

IMR 4831 and IMR 4350 take care of most of my rifle loading 243 through 300 win .

[45-70marlin]

2400 for my 30-30

[Huntsman]

30-30. IMR3031
.308 Win IMR3031
30/06? Don't know yet haven't decided if I'll use the 200gr Lee RN or NOE 165gr FNGC
I've plenty of IMR4831, Varget and 3031. Just haven't expanded my '06 to cast boolits yet.
But I will keep an eye on this thread to get an idea of others are successful with.

For CB's - in the 30/30 it's RE-7 only because 5744 is expensive and for my other 30's 2400 or RE-7 when 2400 is unavailable (such as now).

I'm sure Mike Ventrino has shares in 5744 lol.

[badbob454]

i like H 4895 h4831 long cut , cause i have it , would rather have short , imr 7383 surplus , and IMR 3031 for my 7mm to 30 cal

[tdoyka]

for jacketed bullets the '06 likes to use imr4320( up to 165gr) and the 30-30 likes h322 (up to 170gr)

[robg]

2400 for lead, tac for jacketed

[Ithaca Gunner]

I'm sure Mike Ventrino has shares in 5744 lol.

I've been saying that for years, mostly the reason I no longer subscribe to Handloader magazine any longer.

.30-06-150gr jacketed, H-4350. 180gr jacketed, Reloader 19.

.30WCF jacketed, Varget.

Cast in either, IMR-4227, but 4198 seems to work well also.

Greetings
Another 4350 under a GC cast of WW water dropped for about 2200 fps in 06. The RCBS 180 GC FN is my first choice in caliber 30.
I no longer shoot any 30-30. Moved to the caliber 38 rifles and 35 Remington.
