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 don't have Quick Load and I can't find much more than handgun data for Contenders with spitzer bullets. I'm kind of wondering how fast I can push 125 gr NBT or 130gr TTSX bullets. I have data pushing the 125 gr FN Sierra PH to 2500 fps with H332. I'm wondering if there are any newer powders that can get me closer to 2700 fps staying within 42K psi in my rifle?
