I used my old 336 30/30 as my primary weapon this season which I will probably never do again, but I will definitely try the new hornady bullets. I used 150 gr Federal Classics and Winchester hollow points. Both bullets failed on game and required follow up shots. That is completely unacceptable especially since all shots were 65 yards and less. This occurred on two different deer and two different bullet types. If and when I do pull my 336 back out, the Hornady will be my bullet of choice.
