Along about 1968 I hand loaded what I'm trying to remember as a 190 grain bullet for my .30-30 Winchester. That's been a while, and now I'm not finding a bullet like that. What I'm thinking may be wrong. But does anyone make a 190 grain bullet that would work? Should have a groove for a crimp. What I'm finding now has no groove.

Sounds like the 190-grain Winchester Silver Tip intended for the .303 Savage. This bullet was held in high regard for use in the .30-30. Sam Fadala wrote of buying .303 ammunition for the sole purpose of pulling the bullets to use in his .30-30's. I dont believe anyone makes a jacketed bullet of that weight now. A cast bullet of this weight can easily be driven at full speed in the .30-30 and there are a number available that exceed 180-grains.

Dad used to take bullets and put a canalure around it with a tool that held the bullet and rolled the groove into the jacket. That worked good with the older 180 grain round nose type. The variety of factory bullets wasn't as good as today and we made do with what we had.
I do remember that some of those loads killed game very well. I still can't recall where I picked up the 190 gr bullets.
