Until recently my local component supplier has carried Sierra 170gr FP bullets. The other shop carries more supplies but even less for 30-30. Well long to short I'm going to need to start ordering my bullets.
Now that my selection is not limited to local supply in 170 gr wieghts what has worked best for you? My two personal 30-30's are on older A with cut rifling and a micro groove barrel.
I am asking about jacketed bullets. I cast and so far haven't worked up a deer load with my cast bullets and won't have time before season. I plan on ordering a box of the Sierra's since they work in one rifle but would like to try some others just to see.
Also on the lighter end in the 125-130 range what has worked best for you? My dad has a bad shoulder and even 30-30 levels with 170's are hard on him at the bench. I would like to find a load that he will practice with more and be effective on deer.
TIA
Brian
