.30-30 NEF load questions

Sorry to dredge up an older thread, but I figured I might as well rather than starting a new one. I ordered up some Speer #2005 130gr hollow points to experiment with, and wanted to see what experiences folks have had with that. I figure I will use the 130gr FN load data, which suggests that CFE 223 is a good powder to start with. I haven't seen any LVR data for that weight bullet, so I am guessing that it is better for the heavier weights.

Any suggestions/thoughts/experiences with this load would greatly appreciated. It seems like I should be able to get these running around 2500 fps, which would make this handi little rifle a great 200 yard predator control and steel plate ringer, which is its intended purpose.

My favorite load --stunningly accurate in my 10" and 14" T/C Contender barrels-- is a the old 130gr. Hornady SSP bullets over a stout charge of Winchester 748. If I was going to try for a new 130gr. bullet load for a rifle, I'd try 748 powder if you have any...
