man, the powder they use today is a lot hotter than way back then, i would talk to a certified gunsmith, or call the company that made your ammo.
if lester or et are around they would be of help
It's against the law to sell ammo stronger that the weakest model that can chamber the round.
Quoting: Nikki_LaVeyi don't know? Older weapons should not be used with maximum loads. Additionally, some weapons will fit and fire cartridges that are expressly dangerous. One of the more common ones is the ".38" marked on the slides of guns usually before 1930 or so. The .38 on the slide refers to .38 ACP and not the more modern and common .38 Super. The Hornady manual says it better than I can: "The 38 ACP became obsolete in 1929 when Colt introduced the more powerful 38 Super Automatic, an improved version of the .38 ACP loaded to much higher pressures. The cartridges are identical in appearance, but the Super version is dangerous if fired in handguns designed for the original cartridge... Under no circumstances should 38 Super factory ammo or top equivalent reloads be fired in weapons chambered for the older 38 ACP." apparently this is not the case with 30/30
