I just used up the last of my H335 that I was using for 30-30. Anyone have any personal recommendations for a different powder for 30-30?

Good question, I'd like to see what people have to say.
I haven't loaded much .30-30, and everything I did was with WC844 powder and I considered them just "plinking" rounds. I'm probably about due to make some more, and it would be good to get a little more serious about it. Steve, what bullets are you using? _________________ Steve Benefactor Life Member, National Rifle Association Life Member, Second Amendment Foundation Patriot & Life Member, Gun Owners of America Life Member, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Legal Action Supporter, Firearms Policy Coalition Member, NAGR/NFGR Please support the organizations that support all of us.

I'm using Sierra 150gr projectiles with the classic load of IMR 3031. It seems as accurate as can be expected for iron sights.

I'm hardly an expert, but I've been using 3031 as well with good results.
