I have always had a healthy respect for the Winchester 94 and .30-30 as a round in general. I have had seven or eight Model 94's and a couple Marlin .30-30's, and I know that they make a great all around rifle, not just for hunting but would be a great truck gun and if I had to have one rifle for everything outside of a .22 LR, this would be it. So I decided to take it out and practice it past 100 yards. This silhouette was put out at 125 yards, which is how far the local range goes.
I shot five rounds of my handloads, 170 grain Hornady SP behind 30.0 grains of IMR-4064. My old Model 94 put all five rounds home with ease.
