Default 30-30 Leverevolution

Has anyone tried the new Hornady 30-30 loads? I am using a Marlin 336 and am thinking of buying some for this season.

I've heard a lot of good things about the new "leverevolution", but I too haven't tried it yet. I hope to get out and test some rounds before the season gets here!

I've used the leverevolution ammo in my .444 Marlin. Good results to date. Highly recommended.

I am intending to use them myself but haven't bought any yet. There is some real good feedback on them on the Marlin owners forum. Here is a link.http://www.marlinowners.com/board

Hey Rex, I posted this a while back.



Hey Guys,
Thought I'd share some results I had with the new Hornady Leverevolution ammo out of my Marlin 30-30

My favorite gun I own is the Marlin in 30-30 but it was never as accurate as my 243 or my 270

I only shoot factory loads for now and have kept fairly good records trying to find which brand shoots best for me. Previously the Remington Corelokt was the most accurate at an average of 2.75" groups over the last 4 groups. This was compared to Winchester and Federal all in 150 grain.Not that good but OK for shots at 100 at a deer

This weekend I tried the new Hornady ammo. The 4, three shot groups were 2.0, 1.0, 1.25 and 1.50 inches (i round to the 1/4 inch with my ruler)
That seems like a pretty solid improvement with the new ammo.

From what I understand the new ammo stretches the usefullness of the 30-30.

Just wanted to share some info

Thanks for the replies guys. Really interesting and visited the Marlin site too. Looks like I have to visit my local store for some Hornady loads.
