Take a look at the Hornady 140gr Mono Flex 30-30 bullet.
51 cents a bullet is cheap on sale at Midway now. They work well!
They load/seat easiest with Hornady dies that have enough room in the seating stem for the semi pointed bullets.

Glad you're planning for the hunts to come and fighting to get there!

"Camping places fix themselves in your mind as if you had spent long periods of your life in them.
You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."
