Re: Heavy 30-30 loads
My oldest Lyman manual is from 1951 and it tops out at a 171 gr. cast lead bullet. I checked my RCBS Cast Bullet Manual and it shows a 187 gr. cast lead RCBS bullet number 30-180-FN. Load data for IMR 3031 shows 26.0 gr. for 1816 fps, or 28.0 gr. for 1972 fps.
Hope that helps.

Re: Heavy 30-30 loads
OK, here is a photograph rather than a scan:
That's as good as I can get it. The book is RCBS Cast Bullet Manual number 1 which I found on Ebay for less than $20.
