The 30-30 is a fine cartridge with sufficient case volume that produces relatively low pressures with game weight bullets pushed by powder weights approaching 35 grains. I am one of countless hunters that used a 30-30 lever gun to fill my deep freeze with deer and moose for many seasons. That rifle, which I got at age 14, is still with me. Although the 30-30 is well regarded as a game getter, it is also capable of impressive accuracy. A buddy did a build on a Barnard action that consistently groups in the .3’s.
I was at the Range Sun from 0900 - 1330 with the crew doing the orientation. There were about 40. One more Sunday in the schedule.
