There has been a couple of threads recently on Marlinowners where guys have been doing range work at 200 and 300 yards with their 30-30's. I know that attaining long range accuracy with a 30-30 is very do-able especially with the creation of the LeverEv ammo, but for me, I have other guns in calibers better suited to "long range" shooting.

If you do your part, there's no reason at all to worry about a 30-30 using LeveRevolutions out beyond 200 yards. I would probably even go to 250 or 300, depending on the circumstances. Hornady indicates if you set your sights to hit 3" high at 100 yards, they'll hit dead on at 200.

And, at least on antelope, they hit like a bolt thrown from God Himself at 200 yards. I hit a doe at that range this weekend and the bullet took out ribs on both sides and left an exit wound you could push a golf ball through.




I whole heartedly agree! Here is a boar from Monday evening taken with my 336SS and LeverEvs. The shot was 150 yards quartering away at full run, and I aimed at the end of his snout at ear level. BOOM! FLOP! I hit him an inch behind and under his left ear.
