>>1619247Hornady Leverevolution 160gr is a good general purpose load. Winchester's 170gr PowerPoint is the one most black-bear hunters here use, and widely available and fairly inexpensive. As the other anon said, HSM has several good loads as well, and for heavier Buffalo Bore has a wide-meplat 190gr JFN.
As I shoot metallic silhouette with a .30-30, I've experimented loading the shallow ogive, flat-based 220gr OTM bullets developed for subsonic .300blk. Excellent accuracy, excellent knockdown power, excellent velocity due to needing to seat them long, just don't expect any real terminal performance with them on live animals since they're a target bullet. Also they're long fuckers and they 100% are not safe for tube mags. Admittedly my silhouette gun is a 28" barrel Ruger No. 1 but I've chronoed them at 2230fps average, loaded with Hornady Superformance.
