Need suggestions on 30-30 powder

[pistolpat]

im starting a load for my 16 inch marlin 30-30 with 160 grain hornady pills and I’m looking for suggestions on powders and what you think ballpark accuracy should be at 100 yards

RL15 has worked well with 150 grain pills in mine. If you can get 1.5-2", you are doing good. These things are not all that accurate.

748 works for me. Lots of published load data for it.

What kinda groups are y’all getting at 100 yards?

I get 1.5" groups with 28.5gr IMR 3031 behind a 150gr Speer FN bullet. I feel pretty confident that I could get 1MOA if I just tinkered a little more with the load.

3031 with a 148 grain cast lead GC bullet will do under 1" @ 100 yards in my Marlin.
