Experimenting with the .30-30?

So I have this old Remington 788 in .30-30 that I just mounted a new scope on. So I've been playing with it a bit lately. It shoots FN bullets well, but I was thinking of loading up some pointy bullets to see what I can do.

I'm wondering if there are any newer powders that can get me closer to 2700 fps staying within 42K psi in my rifle?

Yes, Leverrevolution will be able to get you close with 125 grain. Start out at 35.5 grains. I actually shoot 38 gr in my levergun
 
Lehigh Defense makes a 115 grain controlled chaos that I have been using for several years in tubular mags.. In 30-30 in gets grear velocity and is extremely devastating on deer
