308 Pistol

Look at Sierra. They make a great 130 grain single shot pistol bullet in 30 caliber. We have loaded this bullet in a 308 Winchester and a 30-30 Winchester(Encore). The bullets perform well. Tom.

I agree with using the "Single shot pistol" bullets. another option is bullets designed for the 30-30. They will perform better at "handgun" velocities than standard 30 caliber bullets. Some of the heavier "varmint" type bullets can be made to perform well if velocities are kept down so they don't blow up.
