First, for your safety please DO NOT solicit reloading data from anonymous sources on the internet. In wikianswers- anyone can answer a question- for all you know, I am 12 years old, and Mom does not know I am on the computer (I'm not- but that is beside the point)
Hornady does not recommend IMR 3031 for the 160 gr FTX bullet in 30-30. This is a link to the Hornady reloading page for your caliber.
PLEASE do not use reload data except that which is published by a powder company, a bullet maker, or manufacturer of reloading equipment.
Safe shooting to you= C3. supervisor
If you were to go to hodgdon,s web site there is a site entitled load data.Just pick the caliber first,then the bullet weight,then the powder maker,the site will show you the starting load in grains for the powder you choose and the max powder charge in grains also.Good luck!
Yes, what powder are you using?
Google Alliant Powder on first page click on VIEW THE GUIDE there is the list for reloading.
Hornady publishes a relaoding book.
You will have to test fit to see if the cylinder will turn
With a heart, spine, or lung shot, a .35 Remington will kill an elk. Load it with 275 grain bullets. With leverevolution powder from Hornady, a .35 Remington is much more adequate than you need it for elk.
Hornady Handbook Of Cartridge Reloading
For a BDL 700 chambered in 25-06, it is recommended to use bullets in the weight range of 85-115 grains for optimal performance. Popular choices include bullets from manufacturers such as Nosler, Hornady, and Sierra in varying designs such as soft points or ballistic tips. Experimenting with different bullets and finding one that your rifle shoots accurately is key to ensuring success in the field.

One can buy RCBS, Hornady, and Dillon reloading dies from the Reloading Dies website. They also sell more and the categories inclue add-ons, gaming, hunting, and recreation.
So long as the cartridge length will cycle, yes. In tubular magazines, it has been a long standing practice NOT to use pointed bullets, since the cartridge primer would be sitting on the point of the bullet below. Leverlution ammo has a plastic tip designed not to fire a primer. From Hornady's website- "Hornady, the leader in ballistic technology, brings you an innovation in ammunition performance featuring state of the industry elastomer Flex Tip Technology that is SAFE in your tubular magazine."
Assuming it is in good condition to shoot any modern day ammo, yes.
