Hornady 160gr.ftx 30/30

[45/70]

How many guys have used this round & how

Did it perform.

Are you still using it or did you switch to something else.

Mite give it a try this yr.

[45/70]

I quests I better throw this ammo

Out nobody shoots it.

This isn't the leverloution line is it?

[bkln]

I don't have a levergun so I can't tell from experience but I hear from the guys at the club that it is overkill, too much meat damage and such. I guess I would recommend go ahead and try it and let us know how did it go. :-)

[45/70]

Yes its the gummy tips leverevolution

I think the 160 gr. Would be perfect for the 30/30 .

A little more than the 150 gr. And a little less

Than the 170.

I've used the 265 ftx in my 444 marlin in the 444 they have to cut the cases back. I like there 265fp better. one of the guys I hunt with uses the 160ftx and loves it

[45/70]

Thanks Larry I haven't used a 30/30 in a long time but with this new ammo I want to give it another try.

[Pygmy]

I can't see 10 grains in bullet weight one way or another making much difference at 30-30 velocities,.

 

Fun to play with   ?....Maybe....

 

Difference in the real world  ?  Not much..

[45/70]

Not just 10 gr.. Its a spitzer not a flat point bullet

And 2400 fps. It its suppose to make the 30/30 200yd. Rifle.

Not saying it does .its what they claim.

The deer I have got wit a 30/30 broad side shots none of the bullets were pass tru's. The bullet was under the hide on the far side you don't get much of a blood trail.

I like a pass tru. With big holes on the opposite side.

that's what I hope to see out of this round.

[45/70]

I don't expect it to work like a 308 165 gr. Balistic tip. But better than what I am use to seeing a 30/30 due..

You hit them a little high and they can go a long ways before you pick up a blood trail.
