With the heavier 220 gr RN, IMR-4350 is your best bet.  40.0 grains under that 220 gr is about as close as you can get to the original .30 Army round.

As for the lighter bullets like the 180 gr, you might consider a slightly faster burn rate like IMR-4064 or 4895.  IMR 3031 is faster still, and although you could work up loads, I think it would be better suited for much lighter bullets like 150 gr and lighter.
