Welcome to the forum.

There's a lot of guys around here that'll probably have it for you.

I'd try www.castboolits.com or www.reloadersnest.com

If you're new to reloading, get a copy of Lee's book. alot of basic knowledge and loads for about everything that you can trust. After you get a feel for what is proven safe, you will be able to take loads off the different sites and be able to predict whether they are bogus or not.....when in doubt, don't load it.

Also, a fellow forum member here.........William "Slim" Iorg has done a good bit of shooting/experimenting with the 30/30 AI. He posts here occasionally and search should bring up his profile. Good luck and welcome!

Try the http://www.shootersforum.com/ and do a search. Alot of info there. Ackleys loads in his book aren't that accurate on velocity.

The complete reloading guide list these.

150 grain fn 32.5 H4198 - 2557 fps max load

170 grain fn 32 H4198 - 2385 fps max load

From wildcat cartridges book.

150 grfn

37 gr IMR 3031 2518 FPS MAX
37.5 GR H4895 2452 FPS MAX
38.5 GR IMR 4064 2450FPS MAX

Good Luck!

As a general rule you can use about 2 grs more powder in the ai than the original cartridge.
If I were to do another 30-30 ai, I'ld first work up maximum loads using slow for the cartridge powders, and chronograph them. Then when the rifle came back with its fresh ground chamber, I'ld add 5% of the previous maximum charge and see what the chrono says. Pretty reasonable to assume that if the 5% extra powder added 150-200 fps more then you've got the maximum for the new cartridge.
150's do benefit a bunch from ai'ing, the 170's gain quite a bit, but pressures always seem to get pretty high before anything really exciting shows up on the chrono.
Powders slower than 4895 are the best choice for good velocity gains in the 30-30 ai.
