Shucks, I'm one "3" short... I have a Model 36 in .30-30... oh, well.
Yay! Congrats! Makes me feel good.Now after reading through most of this thread I want to get it out and start shooting it again.
I'll defer to others here for good advice on that. I know just enough to be dangerous <snickers>, so take this with two grains of salt -- just an opinion.Thirty years ago a coworker told me to buy 150 gr Winchester Silvertips and I still have whats left of the box. I know a lot has changed in the last 30 years so I don't know where to start in buying ammo. I am sure everyone has their opinion, but for an average person just getting back into shooting, what would be the best all round ammo for target practice?
Now for hog, some here may recommend 170's. I probably would. Not all hogs are huge, but if I get an angry granddad charging me, I want some mass in that projectile. :-oI probably will never go hunting though there is a very slim chance I might try hog hunting with my niece's son and husband somewhere in the future.
Thinking about 300 Blk in a lever.
I'll start with it in a Ruger bolt..
Agree. I'm thinking Browning.Mo said:The main issue would be the pointy bullets in a tube fed rifle.
I see its [300 Blk] real advantage out of bolts.
But then, that Ruger can also shoot .223/5.56.
I'm thinking that'll also do.
