I have a Savage 340 in 30-30.when I started loading for it I was using 150 gr. Ballistic tips.It is not the easiest round to load ,the neck is let's say tender and some will colapse.The main issue I had was O.A.L. the longer bullet makes it hard to get them to feed good in the mag.I would basicly use it as a single shot ,But the results were awesome.
