It’s all I really use, I’ve played with it exclusively . Speer 130 grain hollow point is a nice one, ftx 160’s both the .330 bc and the .395 bc versions have done well. Caution is best, I started with a calculated load of 39.5, and worked my way up from there. I measured the pressure ring area above the rim before and after shots, played with magnum and standard primers. I run them through a marlin 336. I have found shaken or longer drop tube allows the powder to naturally settle and helps reduce compression and gives more velocity. The exact same charge one drop tuned and not jut metered directly into the case. The same 150 grain ,in my case 150 grain Hornady sp interlock, loaded in 30-30 is 38.5 gr LVR. I will say that I have gone higher with the LVR load, but it works for me. 39.5 is a safe place to start, imho, I worked up in .2, .5 and so forth to find a great load.
