I see .30-30 shells on sale from time to time for around ten bucks per box.
Are the Hornady loads twice as effective?
We're talking .30-30 velocities and distance here.

The Hornady LeverEvolution 160 gr ballistics makes the 30-30 a 300 yard deer getter. It's very accurate, too!pharmseller wrote:I see .30-30 shells on sale from time to time for around ten bucks per box.

So we're talking scoped Marlins, I suppose?Gary wrote:The Hornady LeverEvolution 160 gr ballistics makes the 30-30 a 300 yard deer getter. It's very accurate, too!pharmseller wrote:I see .30-30 shells on sale from time to time for around ten bucks per box.

I'd have a hard time hitting a circus tent at 300 yards with my model 94, much less a deer's vitals.

I have a dedicated Model 94 for shooting the FTX loads --- it prints the FTX load several inches higher than $14.00 soft points , but it groups them reasonably well. The rifle is still iron sights so i haven't been able to see the long range potential of the bullet, but open sights, it keeps a group close to 3" at 100 yards (stock iron sights, not a peep) ---- i pick up a few boxes here and there, but really, for me - 2 boxes of .30-.30 is a year's supply. A box could cost 50 bucks and it still would not be too out of reach considering my low volume. I like the way it shoots, but again , i keep my "FTX rifle" segregated from the others that i run cheaper ammo in.
Heck i bought 2 boxes of 45-70 FTX a couple of years ago, and just like the 30-30, my Guide Gun is sighted in with those loads --- 2 years later i still have half a box left. 1.5 boxes has accounted for sight-in shots, a couple of goofing around shots, a couple of "get aquainted with 45-70 recoil again" shots, plus 6 whitetail. Pretty good economy for 50 or 60 bucks (rough price for 2 boxes of the stuff off the shelf at Bass Pro) I have shot the 45-70 at 200 yards as it has a 3-9 carrying handle . I like the results, --- but not everyone does and some rifles seem to shoot the stuff better than others, so a little experimentation was in order for me
