I tried several different powders and even pointy bullets in my Henry single shot. I went back to the old standard 3031 and some 150-grain seconds from Midway to find where it did the best. It shoots great with a bit over max charge.

I have other rifles, for when I need speed and distance. The old standard bullets and velocities are where the 30-30 belongs.

I have killed deer to 168 yards without issue.
