I am looking for a good cowboy load recommendation shooting 30-30 155 or 150 GR RNFP smokeless out of my 94 Winchester. Something in the 1125 to 1300 FPS range. Target distance 200yards

Thank you in advance for any assistance!!!

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.

Me too.

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