Best 30-30 round?

[EroJiji]

Hi Everyone! I wondering if y'all could help me out. From your opinion and experiences, what is the best price to quality ammunition out there for a 30-30? Thanks!

Winchester or Remington 170 Grain Power Point and 170 grain Core Lokt respectively. These just plain work and are still reasonably priced.

Federal powershok, Remington corlokt and Winchester power points are probably the best price point on 3030 ammo 150 & 170gr loads, they all work great on deer. Probably still not much more than $20 per box. Hornady Leverevolution 160gr hasent grouped as well in my rifles as the 150gr & 170gr loads from Federal and Remington, and costs considerably more.

Myself I never seen the need to use anything else but 150 grain bullets in the 30-30 for deer. I favour the old Silvertip but Winchester Power Points and Remington Core Lokt most likely identical terminal effects.

Hornady Leverevolution 160gr work for me.

Liked the old Winchester Silvertip .30-30 with the 170 grain bullet myself.

If plinking, whatever is cheapest and I keep the brass for reloading.

Hunting, I prefer Hornady LeverEvolution.

I'd go with that. I reload now, but these two were always a reliable and safe bet for anything up to Ontario sized moose.

I am getting amazing accuracy out of browning BXP.

Under 1" at 100 with a marlin 336 and a red dot

try them all every rifle is different.
my first marlin 336 like 170 gr powershock
one of my dark series like 160gr leverevlution
my personal 336 dark like 170gr federal fusion.

I never seen a need to compare and I do not own a Marlin 30-30 with micro groove. But apparently the traditional 150s shoot more accurately in the supposed shorter throated Winchester 94 and Marlin handles the 170 with a tad bit more accuracy in micro groove barrels.
So they say......
