Jim and I have both posted about our love for the old 30-30

Using Leverevolution Powder I can exceed 2500 fps with the Hornady 150 grn SST Bullet. This bullet has a very high B.C. of .415...
With this combination, the gun easily moves into a different catagory. Sighted in 1.5" high at 100 yards puts it 2" low at 200 yards. At this distance it still has 1500+ fpe and expands well. Accuracy is sub 1" at 100 yards to boot...
No doubt all Gary's 30-30 based Wildcats will do more. More and more, I think of a 23" 338 Falcon Carbine.
