219 Donaldson Wasp reload info

I had pretty well resigned myself to the fact and satisfaction of a trailer to haul my quad as being my Christmas gift this year. Then I found a custom 219 Donaldson Wasp built on a Winchester high wall action with a 10 X J.NERTL scope, that I 'needed'. Along with that, 300 brass, made from .30-30 brass, the dies and a forming die. Now that's a Christmas present!! I have a very understanding wife, of almost 40 years.
I have most of the newer reloading manuals and was thinking of starting out with the accuracy loads listed in the Sierra manual. Anyway, in addition and in the meantime I thought I'd ask if there's anyone out there that shoots this caliber and has an accuracy load they'd like to share?

I had a wasp a long time ago so it may take me a while to find my old range notes. I do remember using IMR3031 and H322. H322 being the best 40-45gr bullet choice, and 3031 being the best in 50-55 gr loads.As I said this was some time ago and there may be better performers among the newer powders.

I have picked up a couple of sources of info but I'd appreciate any of your own personal good & bad load experiences, especially anything you've found to work really well.
