Nothing wrong with reloading in general but the 30-30 has two very good options already:

• Inexpensive / sale loads in a relatively competitive chambering (i.e. most every manufacturer 'has to' load for the popular 30-30)
• Hornady Leverevolution ammo - any LE chambering is one I don't have to reload for - LE being pretty high-performance stuff that is difficult to improve upon with regards to trajectory, accuracy, and terminal energy.

I would use my relatively scarce reloading time for the odd stuff for which factory loads are expensive or limited in availability. For me, it would be .350 Rem Mag and .356 Win for starters.
