Jim's load will make you very happy
It is pretty much all I shoot in my .30-30s these days -- mostly with the RCBS 30-180-FN, but also with the Lyman 311041. It gives me around 1900 fps out of my Marlin 36s.
Your 6-2-92 alloy will be harder than you need for hunting deer. WW alloy expands nicely at these speeds, so you might consider cutting your alloy with a little lead to soften it a bit.
