35/30 (2)

howdy!
this is my first post, but i am a long time reloader. i do go to other forums. i am also on a limited income. i have been looking at ranch dog's own discussion, so i figure i better do my own post so i don't confuse his.
i have been thinking(for months) about my m94 in 30-30 and sending it to JES to make it a 35/30. although it will be 4-5 months before i get the money, i have a few questions.
it will be my "truck" gun. i can use it to shoot targets, soda cans, deer and black bear.
range and boolit weight?
i would like a 250 - 280gr boolit will do 1600-1800fps to go approx. 150 yards. in all reality, it will only go about 50 yards, but 150 yards should be nice to do.
rifle twist?
i think that 1 in 16" twist will be alright, but will it do 250 - 280gr boolit weight? i kinda like my boolits to be heavier.
smokeless powder
i have h4198, rel 7 and h322. i would like to use them on boolits that weigh 250 - 280gr. should that be good? i have tried to find it, but other than frank barnes, cartridges of the world, i haven't had luck. do you have any 250-280gr loads?
oh, and the sights will be williams peep sights(https://www.midwayusa.com/product/71288 ... inum-black and https://www.midwayusa.com/product/38434 ... teel-black ).
thank you for reading my post!
