Last year I sold my springfield 22hornet/410 over under, and got myself a marlin model 336 for $200.00. I have shot it a lot and got really good with it, so good infact that last winter I was out hunting for rabbits (snow shoe hare). I found a pile of moose pellets that when the moose walked off she kicked the pile and spred them all over the place and after some time I had one cartridge left, and there was one moose pellet left. I did not shoot the last one because I did that one other time and on the way home I saw 3 rabbits and had no ammo, and was not going to let that happen again.
Any how, today I went out to the garage and found a box of my favorite boolits for that gun, a box of lyman 150gn luverin rngc @.311". when I got the boolit in the house I went straight to my old lyman 45th addition and looked up the 30/30 and that boolit. Got done setting the powder measurer and went to work loading some ammo and went across the road to the range and shot. WOW!!!!! Three touching at 40yards with irons???? NO WAY!!!!!!! YES WAY, and here is the load:
PRIMER: REMINGTON L.R.
POWDER:11.0gn OF IMR/sr/4756
BOOLIT:LYMAN 150gn LUVERIN RNGC
CASE:MISC 30/30
LUBE:BULL SHOP SPEED GREEN
FPS:1570
OTHER:
My brother Tony went out with his 6.5X55 swide with a weaver 2*1/2* power scope and the 30/30 with iron shot better at the same range!!!!
