GoodOlBoy, If you have your heart set on shooting a cast bullet this may not be an option for you,but Berry's makes a 150 gr. FN plated bullet for the 30-30. You can use equivalent lead bullet data for loading,the main thing is to keep the velocity no higher than 1700 fps. and use a light crimp so as not to cut through the plating.

I've used there 9mm bullets in my Ruger BH 357/9mm convertible only because most cast 9mm bullet are to small in dia. to stabilize in the Ruger's bore the plated work great.

Larry I have looked at all of those except Penn, I will take a look at them.

Thanks guys for all the input.
