Backtobethel--First of all, GOOD ON YOU for researching first! Reading up in published loading manuals is the intelligent way to obtain loading data.

Re: Reduced loads for .30-30: I wouldn't, because it's a light cartridge anyhow, and the POI would probably change (necessitating a resetting of the sights) when I switched back to my hunting ammo. I'd go with cheap FMJ bullets of the same weight as my hunting bullets for economy if that is the question.
