30.30 handload ??

Gentlemen, what powder should I use to get the most out of a 30.30 with a 16" barrel. The only powder I keep on hand is 2223.
Thanks. cerberus

Id use IMR 4895 or R15 since that's what I have In stock. I like 4895 in my 9.3x57. I have 3031 too

By "get the most," do you mean velocity?
If so, the powder that gives the highest velocity with a particular bullet does so in ANY barrel length.
For jacketed bullets, in my T/C Contender or Win M94, BL-C(2) does very well and will give top velocity or very close to it and top accuracy or very close to it.

I use IMR 4895, have for years, and I'm satisfied with it.
