You did not specify anything as far as type of load. Just to give you a comparison for what powders are likely to be able to achieve for velocity, I ran a Quickload table. With the application being for a single shot, I set the COAL a little longer than the SAAMI spec. This is not load data, but the predictions might help you select a powder that is a good choice for what you want to do.
Code:
Cartridge : .30-30 Win. (SAAMI) Barrel Length : 18.0 inch = 457.2 mm
Bullet : .308, 214, LYM LRN GC 311284 Cartridge O.A.L. L6: 2.600 inch = 66.04 mm
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
