Just loaded 3 cartridges each of 190 grain Hawk with 29,30 and 31 grains of IMR3031. Once spring gets here I will run them over the chrony (20" 1899H .303 savage) I will report back with the results.

Just a FWIW, this old data seems pretty hot. Hodgdon's current load data lists the max load for a 30-30 with a 170 grain jacketed bullet as 29.2 grains of IMR 3031. I'd think a current load for 30-30 with a 190 grain jacketed bullet would be 2-3 grains below that 29.2 grain max load. Granted, a 30-30 is not a 303 Savage, but the case capacity is very similar and many of us have used 30-30 data as starting point for 303 Savage loads.
