Might have to start reloading for the 30-30. Been very difficult to find ammunition. About the only one I regularly (every few months) seem to find is Hornady 160gr FTX which isn't a bad option but you know.

Anybody have any favorite loads?

Mate, the 160gr FTX is a fantastic and accurate bullet in my Mod 94 Winchester. The powder I use is an ADI powder, Benchmark 8208, and it is brilliant. It seems IMR list this powder as IMR 8208 XBR. Have a look at their load data and use it to develop a load. Oh, and I use Remington LR primers exclusively, and I also use the LEE Factory Crimp on all my rounds.

Bushy........from memory its the speer 170grn flatnose with stout charge of win748 up its gunger????

Good memory Elvis. Speer 170 gr FN Hot Core over 32 grains of W-748. Three shot group at 100 yards of 1 7/8" spread from a 1949 Win 94.

When I reloaded 30/30, I used any 170gr bullet withIMR4064, IMR4895, 748 and found that they were accurate.

IMO it has to be the easiest rifle caliber to work with.
