Hi Guy's
I found a marlin 336 in 30-30, and was wondering what powders you
guy's are using and are having good luck with ?

Thanks Guy's,

Medium burning rate rifle powders work best in the .30-30 with bullets in the popular 150-170 grain weight range. Examples of popular powders include IMR 3031, IMR 4895, H335, H4895, RL-15, and W748.IMR 3031 seems to be the most popular.

Hi Guy's
I want to thank all of you guy's for the suggestions. I loaded some H-322
with 150 gr sierra fn. Got to shoot the other day, it was a little windy, but got
a 3 shot group just a little over an inch at a 100 yrd's. Then brought the target
back to 50 yrd's and put 2 through the same hole. going to try again on a calmer day.

But Thanks Again Guy's,
