Of course, that's a general statement depending on the cartridge, but all of these powders potentially work well for cast bullet loads in the .30-30.

Many powders will work..one often forgotten and long discontinued..The once heralded perfect 30-30 powder HiVel #2. Still easily found(cheaply I might add)at gun shows. My personal keg is from before the war... the big one. I also use Unique in the 30-30 with cast 311 041 bullets..with 11-12 gr unique..same weight in the 32 Win special too. Feeds my Win 64s just fine and the extra bbl length adds just a little velocity over the carbines with jacketed bullets
