Recommended Posts

I know nobody cares about range reports so here's my last one

Took the 30/30 out to test the factory LE. Ammo

To my reloaded ammo with the same bullet 160 gr.

Ftx. Loaded to the max.

You can see it shoots quite a bit lower compared

To the factory ammo.

Have to wait till deer season to see how it does

On meat and bones.

The white target was at 100 yd.

The other was at 75 yd.post-6409-0-78734500-1442420185_thumb.jppost-6409-0-41643000-1442420223_thumb.jp

I have no idea what you are trying to say with those shots/groups. Are you trying to show that different bullets/loads have different POI? Or are you shooting how wide the groups are between different cartridges?

That the hornady ammo is faster and flatter shooting as they clam

It is.

I loaded there bullet to the

Maximum allowed of powder. And it is a lot slower than there's

Almost 300 ft. PR sec. Slower . And that is the

Dif. In poi.

So it looks to me that all there claims are tru. Its much better ammo for the old 30/30.

No where did you mention you were shooting Hornady factory ammo, only that you were comparing "LE" ammo vs your hand loads. Very confusing.

Hornady has a new powder out, superformance that is supposed to push higher velocities while keeping pressures the same.

Sorry for not exsplaning it better.

Just wanted to show that. The hornady

LE ammo. Puts new life into the old

30/30.

Not trying to give you a hard time, just wanted to understand the message you were trying to get across.

Btw, what is LE ammo? Law enforcement use 30/30?

I have 10 boxes of the LE at home for my 30-30 but keep shooting the cheap federal stuff because it is so darn accurate out of my Henry.  Haven't even tried the LE, but may have to as I bet it does extend the range of that gun a bit.

Its not easier to dial in your scope with sight in targets?

You can take this link to the clerk at staples and print out sight in targets and the other targets for a few pennies each, or cheaper if you buy bulk. Or just print them at home.
