So...what ammo should I load it up with? Would you go with the Horanday Leverlution ammo or the Nosler Partitions?

We can keep shots under 250 yards.

Thoughts?


I ALWAYS heard a 30-30 was only good out to 100 yards on DEER, but that being said ive always felt i would take 150 yard shots in right conditions, but 250 yards on a elk IMO is way too far, i'd keep shots at 150 and less as already stated
