Love that .30-30 bolt gun.

Thanks!
Me too.
It hasn’t seen the inside of the safe- ever- because it stays in my shop with the magazine loaded, ready to go.

Somewhere between 27 and 30 grains of Varget should give you a very good load. I wish I had some more on hand.

I have had decent results with leverevolution and red dot.

Very timely post. I just finished prepping a hundred cases to set up and FF in my 30-30 AI Contender.

Lucky for me, I have everything that has been listed here so it should run rather smoothly. Nice thing about the FF loads is they are usually very accurate, so if need be I'll be able to hunt with them as well.

Speaking to the Model 8, my oldest grandson has been working on a load for an heirloom Model 81 in 300 Savage circa '48-49. So far just some J loads for it to see how she ran.

Thanks to all who responded.
