Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
I don't know how the stars aligned but I ended up with five boxes of 170 gr Winchester Silvertip factory ammo for my .30-30!
I'll use it sparingly and it will likely last me the rest of my days.
Also scored 4 boxed of .30-30 ammo at Academy with plenty left on the shelf for everyone else.

Some of my favorite! Thankfully I can still handload these. They are used sparingly!

Isn't it funny how ALL 30-30 is good? Ive killed alot with 170, 150, and 125s, and all were spectacular, the difference is the recoil, with 125s being especially sweet natured.
Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
it's good to have you guys saying this. I have a 30-30! just remembered! i think it will be good to get some ammo for it. yeah. thanks.
Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
I'm sitting pretty good with about five boxes (3 Rem CoreLokt, 2 Hornady Whitetail) plus reloading components.

I found a box the other day that had 9 left in it. Probably enough to last the rest of my life. I have plenty of other stuff if I run low.

Jim T, where did you find those nickel cases? They're pretty.
Does anyone know why a mouse pees on brass? It sure pees me off.

Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
I've always considered a rifle without ammo to be little more than a club. I pay too much for my rifles for them to become non-firearms so I keep a supply of ammo for each as well as the capacity to reload for each. I currently don't have a 30-30 but I do have three 32 Winchester levers and I keep five boxes of factory ammo for each. I only shoot reloads and have enough components for about 1k.M. M.

Scott, good score on the silver tips.
Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
Years ago I got a shipment of ammo from Speer .. a run of 30-30's that were all nickle. I keep them for wearing to a barbecue.M. M.

Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
The truth is that my old .30-30 will shoot just about any 150 or 170 grain factory load pretty much to the sights and it all seems to do a great job.
Silvertip ammo is more nostalgic for me than anything else.

Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
I have a... (paused while I went and looked) 2 boxes of Federal Power-Shok 150s left over from when a box of 20 was $7.79 @ Wally World, 2 boxes of Remington Core-Lokt 150 from the same period, and a box of 150 grain Silvertips sheathed in a Legendary Lawmen box and nickel brass! Can hardly believe they're all full boxes... but then I rarely shoot any factory fodder!

Winchester Silvertip just looks good and I have found shoots well too
Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
Scored 4 boxes of the same Silvertip stuff about a year ago, for a friend of mine. should last him the rest of his life too. He was down to his last box and I just happened to walk into a store that had just gotten it in.

Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
how much is it bringing per box when you find it ?
[ depressing thought--- or is it a happy thought ? i probably have at least 400 rounds of 30/30 including my handloads and factory loads. its happy , since i tend to shoot a lot when i get time. it is depressing cause it reminds me how i havent been shooting enough because i havent had time . ..... but i guess its happy because next wednesday is my last day of work.. retiring from medical practice....which is happy, so i should have time.... but....i will miss it and a lot of patients are upset.... but still......
you know as i ramble on i realize that i am ambivalent , at least i think so, but i am not sure, and i..... i think i should stop and get another coffee !!

I'm just waiting for it to come in so I can get another 500.

Re: Score 170 gr Winchester Silvertip .30-30 ammo
I paid $18/box. At our last gunshow here, I saw some for $65/box.
I have seen some 30-30 ammo at wally world for $27/box lately
