As the OP hasn't made a comment since starting the thread I'm inclined to believe a mistake was made. And not by the ammunition manufacturer.

As mentioned above, I'd first verify the caliber/chambering. Particularly if this is the first firing after a long period.
Things get forgotten. Possible it's not actually a 30-30.

I bought 2 of the Lymans and the first time the mirror gets dirty and you clean it, you'll never get another clear picture. Yes, I used the cleaning kit that came with it.

Any particular reason you want such a long, heavy barrel for a pistol cartridge? It won't be very nice to carry, for sure.

I'd also recommend exercising a lot of patience and work very slowly. Once you remove some wood there's no putting it back.

The starters for the walk behind mowers are unique for whatever reason. I am considering ordering an electric starter conversion kit for a 6.5hp motor just to see if it'll mount up the same. The...

After disassembling and inspecting this starter and searching on line for parts it appears Honda screwed the pooch with this particular item.
That surprises me but it happens occasionally no matter...

I agree. In this case, everything I can find is going to be $100 shipped, many cite wait times in excess of 6 months and this starter is roughly the size of a 4oz juice bottle like toddlers are...

No matches on Jack's Small Engines using the OEM part number.

A bushing has spun in the nose housing so it's pretty much toast.

Bought a used Honda 21" mower recently. Pull start works fine but it has an electric starter which is worn out. Amazon often has good prices on parts like this but not this time. Every where else I...

It appears that the OP only made 10 posts in 10 years.
It further appears that the OP made a big enough ruckus that he's no longer welcome here.

Based on that, you shouldn't be experiencing groups like you are. You mentioned base screws coming loose. That usually means the base and receiver aren't mating well. I'd think about bedding the base...

I'd suspect a bigger problem than throat fit if it's puking out 3"-6," groups at 50 yards. Perhaps a combination of problems.
Again, slug the full length of the bore and make a chamber cast....
Forum: Hunting with CB's
When I brought up slugging I also meant to check to the entire length for tight/lose spots and to make sure the bore diameter doesn't increase toward the muzzle.
Any of those 3 problems can cause...
Forum: Hunting with CB's
That would be most unusual but since I wasn't there I'll take your word for it.
I would tend to suspect a bad crown or inconsistent bore diameter in that order.
