Powder selection is critical for reduced velocity loads in large cartridges. Reduced charges of the powders that you would normally use in .30-30 or .30-06 will not work; they burn too slow to generate enough pressure for consistent ignition. Faster powders do not fill the case, which can also cause ignition problems. Under some conditions, light charges of fast powders have resulted in bulged chambers.
The traditional powder for reduced velocity/lead bullet loads has been IMR's SR-4759. But in recent years IMR came out with Trail Boss which is MO BETTA. Trail Boss is the only powder I'd recommend for cast bullet loads in big rifle cartridges. It is a fast-burning but very bulky powder that works in just about any cartridge from .38 Special to .45-70. Hodgdon lists Trail Boss loads for 160 grain jacketed bullets in .30-30 and .30-06. These are close enough to your application that you should be able to use them as a starting point.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let�s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I�ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
