Cheap 30-30 Recipe

"The Load" is not safe to use in the .30-30. Don't try it. 9 grs under a 150gr cast bullet produces 38,100 CUP! 33 grs of H335 under the same bullet produces 31,700 CUP. If you load 13 grs of Red Dot in the .30-30 you're gonna have a bad time.
Nah flake powders are so quick and accurate to dispense. Just have to follow load data not idiots on the internet lol. 700 to 1000 rounds to a pound of powder is friggin sweet these days.
Well not to derail any further but I like the Campro 30 carbine 110gn with 22gn of H4895 and a solid crimp. Although H4895 seems pretty hard to come by these days....

Super light recoil, pretty good accuracy, load fine in my lever and lots of fun.
I know lots of people that use the flake powders in the rifle cases but I avoid it just due to the risks of overcharging. Rifle powders are safer in this regard. Lots of people run the shotgun/pistol powders in their plinking loads but not me.

I'm running 150grn berry bullets, and reddot powder, in my 308 and gets me about 3/4" at 100. At the time it was costing me 17 cents to load.
Just gotta do research. I seen alot if people running 5-6grn with cast bullets in their 3030. More than enough to pop a porcupine. I think this would be your cheapest route.
