From my Glenfield (Marlin) I enjoy practicing with:
170 gr Rem soft point, 29 grains of IMR 30-31. That's about a classic load for roughly 2,000 fps.
It's nearly a max load, but shoots well. I crimp the case mouth lightly, into the cannelure of the bullet.
For an awful lot of fun, consider a 150 gr cast lead bullet, over a modest charge of pistol powder, such as 10 grains of Unique, for about 1500 fps. They're fun to shoot, and very economical to load.

IMR3031. Classic 30-30 powder. I’ve also done well with A2460 and lighter bullets. 4895 works for just about any rifle, and particularly well for 30-30
