30-30 loads are all over the place but 32-20 loads are easy. Try 4.5 grains of unique with a 115 grain cast bullet. It's right out of the Lyman book and works fine for me.

Richard, Unique is impossible to find in my area but I have a lot of IMR4227 and A5744 on hand. Lyman shows loads for both and I'm confident I can pin down a good load with one or the other.
My 30-30 loves A5744 and it will be my go to powder in that caliber.

I never can find 5744. There are a lot of powders that work well in the 32 like Lilgun, Titegroup, and super field.

Edgehit, Shooters World has a powder that is supposed to be identical to 5744---I believe they call it Buffalo Rifle.
