I found some Remington 170 gr Core-lokts and not wanting to shoot to many of these hard to find bullets up at paper I need your powder suggestions.

My best luck has been with IMR3031.
I've had good results with 748, also.

IMR-3031 and 170 gr. Speer flat points are a beautiful combination in my Marlin. There's other powders that also work well as some have mentioned but after a lot of experimentation I finally settled on that 170/3031 load because it's so consistent and I like having just one good .30-30 load for the sake of simplicity and not having to re-zero.

I use IMR-4895 with those same bullets, simply because I have such a large quantity of that particular powder.
Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

I find that nothing beats LVR for velocity or accuracy in my levers which include 32 Special ,30-30 and 35 Rem.It works good with FTX`s and just about any bullet I have tried.
Its all right to be white!! Stupidity left unattended will run rampant Don't argue with stupid people, They will drag you down to their level and then win by experience

IMR 3031, H-335, Win 748 have all served me well for the 30-30.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

A lot of 3031 - it's the only powder that seems to be available.
