I like that speer hot core 130 too. It is loaded up and ready for any close shots on deer this monday.
My 30 30 is a break action encore. With a 12 inch barrel MGM barrel I get just about 2025 FPS with that bullet and 35g of Varget. Load looks to be warm but not hot. Hodgdon lists 36g to be a max load at 2500 fps from a 24 inch barrel.
I like the extra velocity with my short barrel. The 150s and 170s were just a bit slow for my taste. 165 cast bullets could kiss 1900 fps though!
Looks like the 130 would be a good blackout bullet too.
