I've always just bought and used what was cheapest. Currently Federal HP bulk from WM. For hunting I use CCI mini-mag HPs or Stingers.

Ammo buy

Went into my local fun store today and stumbled into a good buy on .30-30 ammo. 10.00 a box for Federal 150gr soft point Hi-shoks I believe they were called. I haven't seen it this low for several years. Now my levers are happy.
