I have recently begun loading for the .30-30 Win using Hodgdon Leverevolution powder and the Hornady 160gr FTX bullet. I noticed that the bottle of powder and Hodgdon's online data shows a maximum load of 35.5 grains, and they state that this is a compressed load. The newest edition of the Hornady reloading manual shows a maximum load of 37 grains. This is quite a difference.
What is everyone's experience using this powder in .30-30? I loaded a test batch and kept to Hodgdon's maximum load for the top end. I will be running them over the chronograph soon. I am going to inquire with Hornady but thought I would see what everyone's personal experience has been.
Thanks.
