There are variety of loads on the 30.30.   169 gr Led

Unique 7,0-10,6 gr.   1211-1568                                          All these should help you

Red Dot 6.5-8.5         1145-1363 fps                         Notation on these starting load to Max load & fps

700X       6.0-7.5         1101-1253

I'm a big fan of 3031. I use 27.5 grains with a 170 grain gas checked RNFP. I hunt with that load as well as long range events.

The Lee Loading book has a good chapter about cast bullets in .30-30, .308 and .30-06.

Me too.

3031 and 748 are good 30-30 powders to have around with a lot of overlap into a wide variety rifle  calibers.
