[QUOTE="FULLDRAWXX75, post: 3536961, member: 3950"] I have from day one shot of owning my Marlin 30-30, shot Core-lokts 150gr. factory ammo. Two yrs. ago I decided to hand load them myself and bought the 150 gr. Core lokts bullets and had all kinds of grouping issues (3" was smallest @ 100 yds) I worked all summer playing with powder charges and the best was 2" with a flyer here and there. I finally tried something different after a few emails and some research. I hand loaded up a few 180gr round nose and shot them. 1/2" group out of the gate @ 100yds. I am more than pleased with the accuracy and I know what the bullet will do as I use the same one in my .300 Savage 99. My feel and just my opinion, I stick with what works best in my guns and their limitations. If I hunt or need to shoot beyond the range the 30-30 is capable of, I take a different gun. I don't think the added distance you can gain is worth the poor performance. FDXX75 [/QUOTE]
