I'm looking for a good 30-30 load for large hogs. My last encounter yeilded a 200+- hog from my .270. The 130 grain Nosler Accubond bullet didn't fully exit. I found it sticking out 1/16" from the off side hog sheild.

My gun shoots 159 grn Rem Core Lokts well. Sub 2 MOA with the buckhorn sights. Since I will be night huntng, I will likely scope this gun and mount a good spotlight on the scope (legal on private land in AR).

I have H335 and W748 on hand. I am not opposed to getting another powder. I would like to duplicate factory velocities since the 30-30 is already a "slow" caliber. Any reccomendations for powder/bullets will be appreciated. I am leaning heavily toward jacketed bullets, but am considering cast. The bonded Speer Deep Curl line has aught my attention. Not certain if I want to deviate from the standard 150 grain bullet either.

The rifle is a mid '70s pre-saftey 336 passed down from my father. I have yet to harvest any animal with it.

So, suggestions on powders? Bullets? Any pics of recovered bullets would be much appreciated.

ETA: I wasn't clear before. I thought I had put this in here, but when I editted it or a shorter post, I guess I took it out inadvertently. I love my .270 and it performs well on hogs. But it is not a very ady gun for carrying a lot at night in thick stuff. I had been using my AR-15 but when I saw that my .270 didn't even produce a full exit wound, it made me feel very leary about going to the woods with only a .223. Thus my search for a 30-30 load. I have a 336 which I find balances very well and offers much quicker handling over my .270 bolt rifle.
