It would be interesting to run those loads through a chrony to see how well they are stepping out!
Just before last hunting season, I was trying Hornady's new 160 grain FTX soft polymer-tipped bullets for my Marlin .30-30. Used three different powders, and each did well - I settled on Ramshot TAC as my preferred powder.
I haven't loaded cast bullets yet for it - gotta "get 'er done!"
