748 has been good for me in the 30-30. That cartridge was the first rifle round I ever loaded for. I used Sam Fadala's load back in the day, and still do. Puts a 150 grain out of a 20" M94 at 2300+ FPS. The modern made 748 performs identically to a jug I have left from 30 years ago. Winchester did a good job of keeping it consistent.
That's not to say there aren't plenty of new powders that are also great. 748 having worked great for me in no way means other choices won't. Failure to recognize these kinds of facts are one of the most common "behaviour problems" here on 24CF. ;oD
