I'm working with 150GC bullets from LeadHead Bullets right now, also in the 30-30.

Best load so far is 27.0 of W748. I'm intending to experiment with a few of the old standards just for a benchmark, but the bulk of my work will be with new powders. Some examples: Benchmark, Xpediter, RL-10X, LilGun, AA2230, TAC, etc.

Could be interesting!

Let me know how to keep up with your findings.
I'll continue in my tests and let you know how it's going.
One thing I've been doing is segragating my rimmed brass according to rim thickness, as this seems to have a big affect with lock up pressure on a hinged breech action rifle.
