I have always used 170 grain Hornady 30-30 bullets, and the maximum 170 gr 30-30 load listed using I believe WW748. I hunt in the woods, and this load works just fine. I do not need to work up a load with pointed bullets for under 100 yard shots. Infact all 3 deer I have tagged with it were under 50 yards.
My 1899 is from around 1909 if I remember correctly. Octagon Barrel and Crescent Butt Plate. Did I mention a Great set of open sights. I get it out now and again during deer season when I get in the mood to just do a walk about in the woods.
