You are in for some good times. Wait till you kill an animal with a load you put together. The bullet you are starting with is a good one for the .30-30.

I have always primed with a hand primer so can't say anything about popping a primer.

In loading this round if IMR doesn't give you the performance you are looking for you might look at BLC-2. I used it in the .30-30 and am quite pleased with it.

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor polite, nor popular -- but one must ask, "Is it right?"
