[Shooter 973]

I have loaded a few hundred 30-30's with 125 gr. Rem. soft points for use in a Rem 788 bolt action rifle. They shoot great and at about 2700 fps they are right up there with a 308 velocity wise. They are lightning on animals up to the size of Mule deer. If you were going to use them in a lever action, you would be limited to a 2 shooter. One in the chamber and the next one in the magazine. I have also loaded the Speer 110 gr. Flat point bullets and they also shoot well. But they are pretty dang fragile too!!!. And these light bullets shoot way low if you are sighted in with "regular" 30-30 loads of 150gr. or heavier.
