I am looking to start reloading for my 30-30 (right now all I load is 45ACP) and would am looking for bullets. Cost is my #1 concern. Any suggestions?

Also I have a bunch of Unique powder, and can't find any load data for it for 30-30. Should it not be used for this cartridge for some reason?

Unique is a pistol powder and it burns too fast for rifle reloading.
As far as bullets I just order the cheapest jacketed bullets I can find. I know some people shoot gaschecked lead bullets for the 30-30 but I never have.

It sounds like you need a reloading manual. You "could" use Unique w/ lead bullet/low vel. loads but it's noit suitable. You'll need to buy another powder like RL7, IMR3031, etc. You'll also need flat point or round nose bullets, no spitzer or pointed bullets. Widener's Reloading and Shooting Supply INC

Thanks for the replies, and that link. That seems like a decent price, too bad they are out of stock at the moment.
