Variations of the 30-30

[killswithkimber]

Has anyone ever heard if there is a variation of the old 30-30win, looking for something new to try.Must still function in a model 1894 lever gun.
Any suguestions?

What do you mean by 'variation'? A .30-30 is a .30-30.

To what purpose? If target shooting, It's been shortened, if hunting, there's 25 - 35, 7 - 30 waters, 32 - 40, 32 special, it's been wildcatted to .33 and .35, there's 38 - 55 and .375 Wincester. You should be able to find something interesting, especially if you're a cast bullet shooter

30-30 improved.

There is also the 30 Remington and 25-36 Marlin, both close to 30-30 but not the same. I dont understand you question are you wanting to shoot something other than 30-30 out of a 30-30 chamber??

The 30/30 Improved makes for a very nice case/cartridge, but most folks didn't/don't want to spend that kind of money on their '94.

In Sam Fadala's book "Winchester's 30-30, Model 94" he tells of having a custom M94 made up by gunsmith Dale Storey and re-chambered to the .30-30 Improved. I quote: "There is no great improvement in raw ballistics that I can uncover." And "...I have ended up using the same loads I've always used in my handloaded .30-30 ammunition."
