    30-30 cast lead load question

    i have been loading my 30-30 with 16 gr of h4198 behind a 160gr cast round nose gas checked bullet for years, but recently someone told me i can follow jacketed bullet recipes with these bullets because they are gas checked. i would like to push them faster and wonder if i could use published load data for 150 or 170 jacketed bullets with h4198 from hodgdon. Also can i use load data for h335 for 150gr or 170 gr jacked bullets from hodgdon with the 160 gr cast lead gas checked bullets?

        If gas checked 2100 fps will be fine if the boolet fits the bore correctly and hardness is correct.
        I load all my .30 caliber rifles to that velocity with no issues....
