light bullet load for t/c 30-30 carbine

I used to have a NEF 30-30, and I loaded 110 gr. Vmax over 36.0 grs. of Varget (WLR primer, W-W case). Its a mild load, only chrony'd at 2336 fps avg.

1.1" 3 shot group @ 100 yards
 
I use bulk 125g Remington psp's with 37 1/2g of H335, for a velosity of 2630 fps out of a Savage 340. I have loaded them hotter with no problem, but it's a little hard on the brass. I have also used 110g Hornadys, and IMR 4198 to get a velosity of around 2800 fps, but all my stuff is loaded in boxes now waiting to move, and I am not sure about the exact load. Do a search on Paco Kelly, he has a lot of hot rod info on the .30-30.
