    Since you want yours for deer this silly load of mine prob'ly won't do you any good but it is my favorite and makes up at least 95% of the (3000 or so) 30-30 shells I've shot.

    110gr soft point M1 carbine bullets or 100gr SpeerPlinkers at 2200fps using various amounts of single based powders from 4198 to 4350.

    Hi Canuck. Favorite with that boolit is 30.5 gr. H-335. Hardened wheelweights (water dropped from the mould) sized .310" (.311" for Marlin) and Lee Liquid Alox lube or Felix Lube.

    Lee soup-can with 8.0 gr. Unique does it for a plinker.

    Hunting:

    Bullet: 155 gr LFNGC
    Charge: 33.0 gr
    Powder: H4895
    Primer: CCI LR
    Chrono @ 15' 2320fps ave. 20 rounds

    Bullet: 170gr JFN Hornady
    Charge: 31.0gr
    Powder: H4895
    Primer: CCI LR
    Chrono @ 15' 2110fps ave. 20 rounds

    They grouped well out of both my Marlin and my Winchester.

    Plinking: 155 gr. LFN
    Charge: 22.0gr
    Powder: H4198
    Primer: CCI LR
    Chrono @ 15' 1705fps ave. 50 rounds so far (low 1610, high 1745fps)
    for some reason this load is extremely accurate out of my Winchester, but a bit wild out of my old Marlin.
