30-30 ammo

[Gravey]

What ammo do y'all like in your 30-30's? Never had one but picking one up from a member here in a couple weeks and wondering what folks are shooting out of them. In my .243 and .270 I shoot Federal Fusions and like them and see they have a 150-grain in them.

New to me. Gonna pick it up in a couple weeks. Always wanted one and never have bought one. It popped up here the other day and I just happened to see it about 2 minutes after it was posted so I figured it was meant to be.

Any ammo you buy that is standard sp and 150-170gr will do the trick. Put the bullet where it counts and you will have meat in the freezer.

I shoot Winchester super x or Hornady American whitetail

Handloads mostly, but Winchester Power Points are hard to beat.

Whichever weight your rifle likes best is what I'd go with, but when I'm hunting deer I usually stick with 150's, and 170's for hogs and bears.

Good old CoreLokt for me.

 

[Moonman]

Federal fusion 150 is my go too. Winchester 93 loves it

I shoot core lokts but i wanted to see what the buzz was about those leverrevolutions was all about . I bought a box and went to shootin. Holy sheeeeeet them things shot 14" high at 100 yrds and didn't group worth a sheeeeeet either . I couldn't adjust the elevator enough to get em in the center . Needless to say the remainder of the box is in the closet with all the other expierimental ammo .
In summary ….. stick with what works

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Not a 30-30, but my whole life I've used a .35 with rem core-lokt and it's been great

This or a hand loaded 125 grain ballistic tip-yes that does make the rifle a two shooter.

I shoot federal fusion out of mine. I like the federal fusion and use it in all of my rifles as well. This reminds me I need to sight in my 30-30. I put a new scope on it 4 years ago and still have not sighted it in.

 

[Mtncur76]

Mine is zeroed at 200 with winchester and remington 150 gn sp never had a problem killing anything

 

[Wade195]

Whitetail 150 grain and Winchester power point 150s for my Henrys.

 

[Creek bottoms]

My old pre-64 Winchester 30 WCF seems to like 170s the best.

I have had the same experience in two different lever 30-30s. They do shoot well in my sons 45-70. 150 grain power points for me but I have a new single shot that really seems to like the 170 grain power points.
